hi there i am going to app;y for college this yr to start on my trip to become a midwife, i was told that as it been awhile since i had studied that i have to do the nq level 2 intermidiate to care with health in it before i can move onto the access course has anyone else had this ?

Hi

I left school 14yrs ago, i only did the Access course which was enough to get me in uni

Where are you applying to, it may be worth ringing them after xmas and see what they say, it may be different in Scotland

Have you just been offered a place? If so and you want a mentor please post in post this forum (also post here if you would like a mentee)

hi there and thanks for replying, i will ring them i just want to get started you know what i mean i have waited so long i just don't want to drag it out any longer by doing the nq course then my access it will then be 2 yrs before getting to uni instead of one.( i am so impatient lol)

Hi,
I have not studied for 12 years but was told this was acceptable and that I did not need to do the access course as I have a HNC in Chemistry.
I hope I have been given the right information.

Hello! I've only done the Access course. I finish this June. I wasn't aware you'd have to do anything, though perhaps they think you may not cope well with the work? Is there an introduction to Access course you can do? Something over the summer while waiting to start? Get onto them and tell them you want to start in September on Access. Surely if you're adament enough they'll put you on.

i think u r correct a couple o yrs ago alot o people failed the course so probably that is why they are telling me to go this way around.

Hello there, I pnly did the access course aswell, I did it in a year and I feel it prepares you really well for uni, and I'd been out of school for 11 years x
