How do DLC courses work?

Just wondering if you can just do the human biology module and no other parts of the access to midwifery? And if you can do this, how long do you think it should take (so I can estimate cost)? And for anybody who has done it, what sort of assignments do you get, do you have an exam? I'm thinking this might be a good option for me as I was going to do Leaving Cert Biology (similar to A Level Biology) but that has more emphasis on plants and animals as well as humans.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, to take the access course, you have to do the mandatory modules first. English and communications, maths and statistics and IT. If you have English and maths at grade C or above already, you don't have to do them. Hope this helps. The site should explain it all though. xx

Thanks xmidwifewannabex, I have all the educational qualifications for uni already including a B in english, maths, chemistry & physics at Irish A level equivalent exams. I'd just like to get some biology (my lab science is chemistry) done.

Just got a reply from my email enquiry to the DLC. Turns out I can do this one module which is worth 15 credits and they reckon I should have it done in a month - is that realistic? Also I have to register for OCN (I think?) certification which will cost £155. Anyone know what that is?

Also looked up the OU course SK277 Human biology and this usually costs £355 but because I'm in Ireland it would cost me £755 so that's that out the window!!!
