  It depends if you know what you want to do already…
  
  6th form is more general and will give you an oppurtunity to do most types of engineering at shcool but if you ahve an idea of what you like and you don’t want to go to university then Apprenticeships or specific college course may be better.
  
  My advice would be to try and get some work experience to try and find out what you like the best… or if that isnt possible just ask us loads more questions 🙂

  This is a good question, but it depends on many things! know what you want to do, the availability of the course, and the way you like to learn!
  
  There are many routes in to engineering and you should pick the one that is best for you, they all get you to the same place!
