Geoff:
In OOTP, Chapter 29 "Careers Advice" makes reference to a number of 
post-Hogwarts training courses. Those mentioned are Healing, Muggle 
Relations, Banking careers with Gringotts, Training security trolls and 
"several booklets on careers with the Ministry of Magic.

As the readers of the pamphlets in the Gryffindor common room observe, 
the academic qualifications vary in difficulty but they are all Further
 Education courses in UK terms for students at 18+.

This section is on pp.578/79 of the book in the UK editions.
