Access course for me too!!!

I had a fantastic time, i was really apprehensive as i was a mature student but i need not have worried!!! The course has definitely helped me get back into the swing of education. My tutors were amazing. Luckily 5 of my fellow access'ers are in my cohort too which has been great. Had no previous experience at all (apart from my own experience of pregnancy!).

Is HNC Healthcare considered as an access course or are there specific courses for access to midwifery? there's none where I live so was just wondering!

Access is a particular course at college/unis. They do tend to differ, but HNC is a certificate? Its a different course x

Access tor me too! Have a previous A levels and a degree in design but it's now almost 12 years since I graduated. Needed recent study so applied for access also did an OU course whilst I was waiting to start. Made some really good friends on the access who I will miss, but also have two who are off to Cardiff with me!

Bee...I'm sure that will be fine! They like to see evidence of recent study and it's in a subject that has some association. How long is the course?

Hiya, 1 year course. It's the closest related course I could find, there's an access to nursing course, but they don't accept that at the uni I've applied to.

I did A level psychology, A2 health and social care and AS sociology and a few other additionalities on top of my main course. Was all good fun

As you can guess, doing access at the mo, but did a pre access and maths GCSE first as it's been a looooonnnnngggg time since I was in education of any sort. I am still amazed that I'm doing this, wow, it's me I'm actually doing it, I can't beleive it! LOL!
