Access to Higher Education courses
Access to Higher Education Diplomas are designed to prepare students for higher education level study. They are aimed at adults without Level 3 qualifications (i.e. A Levels, BTEC Level 3 Nationals, Level 3/Advanced Apprenticeship etc). They are mainly offered at further education colleges.
Most Access courses can be completed in one academic year on a full-time basis. Some can be taken part-time (e.g. in the evenings) or by distance learning.
Some colleges offer courses to help you return to study and to prepare to start an Access course.
