How long will they take?
If you add GCSE Equivalences to your Access Diploma, it will obviously take longer for you to complete your qualification so you need to take this into consideration when planning when you aim to enter Higher Education.
For the full Access Diploma, we permit up to 365 days of study for the whole qualification. If you do not complete before that point, you can still continue by moving onto a regular monthly fee. It is the same for GCSE Equivalences except that for these we permit 110 days for Mathematics, 73 days for English and 91 days for Science, so when you are considering the total time it will take to achieve an Access Diploma, you need to add these on as appropriate.
