All students aged 16 to 19 in England are funded for an individual study programme. Study programmes have a core aim, are tailored to each student, have clear study or employment goals reflecting the students prior attainment, and include:
- substantial qualifications
- mathematics and English for students who have not achieved grade 9 to 4 at GCSE in these subjects
- high quality work experience or work preparation
- added value non-qualification activity that supports the students goals and is integrated into the study programme
