Welcome to NotGoingToUni.co.uk - the advice and careers site dedicated to helping school/college leavers make informed choices.

University isn't for everyone (1 in 4 drop out!) and there are many opportunities outside of Uni including training schemes, apprenticeships, management trainee positions, work placements, employer-funded degrees, jobs for school leavers and gap years.

So if you're not sure of what you want to do after school/college, or if you are looking for an apprenticeship or even a degree but would rather study part-time; NotGoingToUni.co.uk is the place for you to source a range of information which will allow you to create your own path to success.

If you're not sure what you want, the best way to use this site is to navigate through our advice pages before finding the various training providers, courses, employers and jobs available. Alternatively, if you know you're after a job right now, use our search box to discover the apprenticeships, training schemes, and jobs on offer.

Our message is not anti-Uni. We just want to help today’s young people make an informed decision by providing them with fair and impartial careers advice through our website. Click here to discover more about NotGoingToUni.co.uk
