New Diplomas for 14-19 year olds

This September sees the launch of a new qualification for 14 to 19 year olds. The new Diploma offers a mix of classroom learning and hands-on experience - all designed to prepare young people for wherever they want to go in life. Whether they've got a career in mind, hope to go to university or just want to see what's out there, the Diploma is the perfect way to explore their options.

Two of the new Diplomas, Engineering and Construction and the Built Environment, provide great opportunities for energy studies. Example activities could include investigating the thermal insulation of buildings and the installation of renewable sources of energy.
