Episode description

In this episode, we're exploring vocational qualifications (BTECs) as we travel through time and space in the search for knowledge, clarity and chocolate.
To do so, Jon is reunited with his past 'phone a friend' and highly respected voice on vocational qualifications and Widening Participation, Chris Bayes (National Educational Opportunities Network) and (SEER).


Expect quizzing, honest and frank discussion on these qualifications young people can study, with hints and tips on how to support their decision making.
