Amanda
is just 17 and is on an NQ in Care programme and, although she has been enjoying
student life, she has been struggling with the work on the course. Most of Amanda’s
friends on the course will be progressing to the HNC in Care at the same college.
Amanda is likely to complete the course by the end of session but is not sure
whether she wants to go on to the demands of an HNC.
Her friends say she should just carry on with them and they will help her.
Amanda talks to her mum about her course but her mum has never been to college and is very proud that Amanda has gone and thinks she should stick with it. Amanda thinks that she might like to get a job just now and come back to college later, perhaps to study something else like Dance which is her hobby outside college.
Have you any ideas about where Amanda could go for help? What other options may be available for her?
