Hampshire students congratulated on Level 3 results as free careers helpline opens

With results being issued today, Hampshire County Council is reminding young people and their families that its free exam results helpline is open for anyone who would like advice about education, training, apprenticeships, employment or university options. 

The helpline is staffed by qualified careers advisers from Hampshire Futures, who can offer impartial guidance to students who are celebrating success, reviewing their plans, exploring different routes or feeling unsure about what to do next. 

Councillor Juliet Henderson, Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Education, said: 

“Congratulations to all Hampshire students receiving their Level 3 results. These achievements reflect your hard work, commitment and resilience, and you should feel proud of everything you have accomplished. 

“I would also like to thank the parents, carers, teachers, tutors and wider school and college communities who have supported young people throughout their studies. 

“For anyone who is uncertain about their next step, please remember that there are many different routes to a successful future. Whether you are thinking about university, an apprenticeship, training or employment, our Hampshire Futures team is ready to provide free, friendly and practical advice.” 

Students and families can contact the helpline with questions about a wide range of options, including higher education, clearing, apprenticeships, further training, employment opportunities and alternative pathways.  

The service is available to help young people understand their choices, talk through their situation and make informed decisions at what can be an important and sometimes emotional time. 

The exam results helpline is open on weekdays until Friday 28 August 2026, from 9am to 3pm. Call 03707 796 122 or email [email protected]. 

Further information and support is also available through the Hampshire Futures website.
