Usually the best way to go is to obtain UCAS points and go to university however that isn't the only way.

It is always beneficial to get a part time job in a hospital for example, heath care assistant where you do not need any qualifications.

While in a job like this the hospital will pay to train you so you can obtain an NVQ.

Quite a few places(universities) will accept NVQ Level 3 instead of UCAS points(a-levels). If you do your NVQ Level 3 "on the job" so to say, then you will be paid for your work and get the qualification at the same time.

You can join a hospitals staff list once you turn 18.

Any work experience will go in your favour.

Good luck :) x
