What do our students say?
“I began the Access to HE course as a Mum of 3 young kids, accustomed to working mundane jobs. I am now en route to becoming a ‘Clinical Psychologist.’ Yes, a ‘broken thinking Doctor’ (my children’s definition) How the heck did that happen? Not only were my academic abilities sharpened, but through the support of a supportive team of tutors I rediscovered a little something called self-belief, believing I could so I did.”
“Access to HE was the biggest stepping stone I’ve ever taken on. The confidence I’ve gained during this time is truly unbelievable”
