ALN - Post 16 / 19
When you reach 16 there are a number of options which could be open to you, including further education or entering the world of work.
It is important to note that where you have already had two or more years of further education or training, you are not guaranteed access to more. There is no entitlement to continuous education or training, nor an entitlement to the provision of your choice (although your views, wishes and feelings must be taken into account).
