Are you a young mum or dad, or will be soon? If you're aged 16 to 19, or up to 25 if you have a statement of educational need, and would like to find out what courses and training you can do, take a look at the Teen parents education and training prospectus.

There are lots of different courses aimed at young parents that you can do. You can learn subjects like cooking, managing your money, using computers, or even take flexible college courses and apprenticeships. Doing a course is a great way to meet other young parents, perhaps gain some qualifications and improve your prospects for the future.
