The difference between higher and further education can be a common cause of confusion. Further education is used to describe the education that occurs following compulsory post-16 secondary education, which is usually distinct from that offered in universities (higher education). It includes a few different levels such as A-Levels and Higher National Diplomas. Foundation Degrees are also a type of further education and take 2 years to complete compared with the 3-4 years of most bachelor's degrees which are offered by both universities and colleges. Sometimes it is possible to extend a Foundation Degree to a bachelor's degree, with one year or more of extra study. Further education is usually taught in the sixth-form college part of a school or in independent further education colleges, as well as in other work-based, adult and community learning institutions in the United States, further education is sometimes referred to as continuing education. Higher education primarily describes post-18 learning that takes place at universities,as well as other colleges and institutions that award academic degrees, and professiona I qualifications.
