In many parts of the country, these two years are spent at a tertiary or sixth form college, which provides academic and vocational courses. Two public examinations are set, on completion of the compulsory cycle of education at the age of sixteen, and on completion of the two voluntary years. At sixteen pupils take the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).
