For those of you with children who are interested in an engineering or automotive qualification, MIT is keen to have homeschooled students.
Under Youth Guarantee, level 3 courses are free for 16 and 17 year olds. These courses can lead to diplomas and degrees. Our son is 16 and has been accepted into L 2/3 electrical engineering certificate. He is also planning to do an extra maths paper towards a degree. All for free 🙂
The aptitude tests are free, a reasonable level of maths, physics & English and an interest in your subject will get you in.
Enrolments are being taken now.
Thanks to Jillian and AHE for this info.
