Next Step Program

Helping Home-Educated Pupils Prepare for College, Careers, and Beyond

For many young people, the journey from home education to college or work can feel daunting. Without access to recognised qualifications, structured resources, or clear pathways, doors can close before they've even had the chance to open. That's why we created the Next Step Program - a complete package designed to give KS4 (Year 10 and 11) pupils the qualifications, confidence, and skills they need to take their next step successfully. The duration of the course is 6-12 months.
