further education - Wales, FE/Sixth form Colleges England and Wales, See also

A level of educational provision offered in many countries, often distinguished from higher education; known as adult education in the USA. Further education is post-school education leading, usually, to qualifications at sub-degree level, though it may not lead to any award at all but simply be taken for its own sake. A great deal is of a vocational nature, and involves study and practical work related to someone's job; but it can also be non-vocational, and take place in informal settings like the home. Higher education, by contrast, takes place in institutions where most or all of the work is at degree level or above.

It is primarily taught in FE colleges (which are similar in concept to United States community colleges, and sometimes use "community college" in their title), work-based learning, and adult and community learning institutions.
