Enquire About a Course

Our Access to HE Diplomas are delivered online - making learning accessible, so you can study anywhere. You’ll have access to our online platform, where you can learn independently, build knowledge, and complete interactive sessions which embed your learning.

How is it Funded?

This course is eligible for funding via an Advanced Learner Loan. The Government introduced 19+ Advanced Learner Loans to help adults with the costs of further education courses.

Getting a loan doesn’t depend on your income and there are no credit checks. Advanced Learner Loans don’t get repaid until you earn over £25,000 per year.

If you progress onto a higher education course, Student Finance England will write off any outstanding balances for your Access to HE upon completion of your degree.

  • Full use of a laptop and word processing software, such as Microsoft Word or Pages 
  • To be a UK resident for 3+ years for purposes other than study

If you don't have your Level 2 qualifications in Maths and English, we can support you through Functional Skills qualifications.
