I decided to take the access to Midwifery course long distance learning because due to work commitments I couldn't go to college. The course allowed me to work in my own time and with a young son and a full time job that is what I needed! All of the Universities accepted the access course and so I thought this was the best path to take.
I found the course really informative and enjoyable, the tutors were great and always on hand if I needed some help. At first I found it quite difficult to write the essays with correct referencing but my tutor sent me examples and that really helped. After that I found the course fairly easy and finished it within 6 months, which I thought was good going seeing as the course was advertised as a year full time at the local colleges.
Thank you so much DistanceLearningCentre.com!

I decided to do an access course via distance learning so I was able to work at my own pace, and to gradually ease myself back into learning. I found the way to successfully completing the Access to Midwifery course, was self motivation, hard work and commitment-which I feel has prepared me well for university.
The tutors are very helpful, and there is always help, either by email or phone when needed. ....and the extra bonus is, I was offered a university place on a renownedly difficult entry course-first time! My confidence has also increased, and the self belief that I can actually learn again after ten years out of study!'
Thank you again, for all your help over my time with you. I can't wait to start uni next month, though a little apprehensive at times! DistanceLearningCentre.com is a fab idea, and I have recommended you to many people, so hopefully I have thrown some work your way! Thanks xxxxx, you are very much appreciated x

When I first started the access course, I never believed that I would be able to get through it. I really struggled in the beginning, really found it hard, and at one point I wanted to drop out, but my tutor kept telling me that I can do it and then once I finished the first module and my tutor phoned to tell that it was OK, that I had covered everything I could not believe it, after that my self confidence went sky high and as I got into the course, I was able to write essays, do research, even maths and plan my work, one by one I was finishing the modules.
I could not believe it I could do things that I never believed I could, this made me feel like I was one step closer to university. Now I am able to do anything put in my way. I am not scared or worried about University I know I can cope with the essays and any other work I will be asked to do. I have worked really hard to make my dream come true, but I could not do it without my tutor who has given me a lot of help and encouragement, she is brilliant very supportive. Thank you xxxxx.

I left school 18 years ago. It was my dream to become a nurse but I didn't know how.
Having a family under my care makes it hard for one to take care of the family and study at the same time. It feels is impossible to achieve what you want. It was like a dream come true when I found DistanceLearningCentre.com.
Thanks to DistanceLearningCentre.com I have now achieved my goal. I've been offered a place at London Southbank University for adult nursing and I have gained my confidence back. I am so happy. Thank you DistanceLearningCentre.com and a big thanks to my tutor.

Hello! In February 2005 I made a life changing decision to study ‘Access to Midwifery’ with DistanceLearningCentre.com. I know it’s a cliché, but if I can succeed you can too!
Having spent fifteen years as a 'stay at home mum' I was determined to return to adult education and pursue my dream of training to be a midwife. Many moons had passed since I left school in 1989 with average grades, so I considered which route my journey would take in order to gain the necessary entry requirements. I was delighted to discover that this was possible via distance learning!
Working from the comfort of your own home has many advantages and for someone like me who has a large family of six children this mode of study proved convenient and achievable! I chose to study over a period of two years to coincide with my youngest starting full time education, during which time I was able to secure a voluntary position at the local hospital to aid my application.
DistanceLearningCentre.com provides students with a personal tutor for the duration of the course. I cannot praise my tutor enough for her support, encouragement and belief in me!
