Access courses are for adults who have had significant life experience but have left education with few, if any, qualifications. The BOOST programme will enable you to develop the skills and knowledge in preparation for progression onto other courses including the Access to HE Diploma.

On successful completion of your diploma, you will have the opportunity to either progress to:

your desired HE degree programme to gain qualified status, or
alternatively enter relevant apprenticeships or employment or promotion.

English
Maths
ICT
Study skills - for example Career Planning and Sociology

Through the robust academic training on the course, you will perfect and develop your verbal and written communication skills. You will engage in a wide range of reading and research, through which your critical thinking and analysis skills will develop. Maths skills will be developed throughout the year.

There are no specific entry requirements for this course, you will need to pass an initial assessment to determine your English skills.

ADVANCED LEARNER LOAN

Many of our adult learners pay for their Level 3 and above courses with an Advanced Learner Loan. If a loan is available this is indicated in the course details. It’s easy to apply, your household income isn’t taken into account and there are no credit checks. You only need to start paying back your Advanced Learner Loan when you are earning more than £25,000 per year.

Course Fee: £150.00
