You can apply for most trades at 16, so if you feel that an academic education isn't for you, but you still want a career with excellent pay and prospects, the RAF could be what you're looking for.
If you hold a GCSE/SCE at Grade G/6, there are around a dozen great careers open to you, all with a salary of £17,485 after a year. You could join us as anything from a flight operations assistant to a photographer, a driver to a survival equipment fitter, or a caterer to a medic.
Of course, the more qualifications you hold, the more options you'll have. If you can offer five GCSE or SCE qualifications at Grade C/3, your career options increase markedly. Check out our jobs page to find the right role for you.
