Planitplus.net

A new version of Planit went live at the start of this session. We believe we’ve kept all of the best features but made improvements to the visual appeal of the site through use of graphics and multimedia. It is still easy to use and it is now mobile friendly, so you can use it on your smartphone or tablet.

Planit Updated  – www.planitplus.net

• Brighter and bolder
• Old Planit features and ease of use, new Planit design and resources
• Mobile friendly
• New Twitter feed (@planitcareers)

 New Option Choice Resource for Schools  – www.planitplus.net/Nationals

We have just launched a National Qualifications section.   The new design and structure makes it even easier for pupils, teachers and parents to explore information on NQ subjects and courses.

Each course description includes links to potential progression routes in school, further study, training and employment.  Two new features mean that:

• pupils can link directly to the Subject/Careers list for each subject
• parents can link to the relevant Nationals in a Nutshell leaflet produced by the National Parent Forum (NPFS).
