If you like practical and hands-on instruction with a clear outcome or purpose, you may prefer to enrol in vocational education after you finish school.
Vocational courses are an alternative to tertiary study at a university which relate to getting a job, and assessment is based on how well you do the tasks needed for that job rather than by exams.
You can study these courses:
