The course has been brilliant. I've learnt so much and the tutors were so supportive throughout.

I've come so far from sitting in the classroom on my first day of the course!

The tutors were so motivating and were always keen to offer support, with additional lessons being held if the class felt necessary. If it wasn't for the guidance available throughout the course, I wouldn't be where I am today!

I would encourage anyone who wants to change career or study for a degree to consider the distance learning Access to Health course as it is so flexible.

If you are thinking about returning to education, do it. The Access course is 1 year and I managed to do it with a husband and 3 kids! Not only did it make a difference to me but it made a difference to my family.

The course definitely prepared me for university - I felt like I had a head start to my classmates who hadn't completed an access course.

The fact that I am able to combine a BTEC Diploma alongside A Levels is great. It gives me a perfect blend of practical experience combined with theoretical study. I love the science modules on my Diploma, and I’m learning about the science behind language on my A Level.
