Thanks for all thr replies. I'm still looking ... and getting more confused. It makes it a little difficult as I don't know where we will be living when we return. I have contacted a couple of unis in the South of England to see what they say. Looking at the K100 Open Uni course, it seems to be a Level 1 course which, am I right in thinking, will not be high enough?? I thought the Access course must be Level 3.
