I have worked for the Scottish Ambulance Service for over 3 years but did not have the relevant qualifications for the paramedic course at University. Studying the Access to Paramedicine with DistanceLearningCentre.com was the perfect course for me and was recommended by the Ambulance Service, I can now move on and become a Paramedic.
The course is well laid out and if you make the commitment and put in the effort you will find it rewarding while gaining the experience that you will need for life at University level. Although I left school with no highers and found studying at A level a challenge the tutors at DistanceLearningCentre.com are great giving you the support and guidance when you need it through emails and phone calls.
Looking back I have enjoyed the experience and even exceeded my expectations with merits and distinctions, I am glad I stuck in and got my award. Thanks again to all my tutors for the help and guidance over the past year!

I have wanted a career in midwifery for many years. Having had my teenage schooling years wasted on me, I finally found the time and inclination to realise a dream. I'm glad I chose DistanceLearningCentre.com as the course work seems far more in-depth than other courses friends have done for midwifery.
I have enjoyed the work and moreover it has given me belief in myself and made me realise my capabilities. It has been hard at times but well worth it. My tutors were great, friendly and encouraging. I now have a place at University starting in September 2013 to study midwifery, fantastic!

Studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com is so flexible that it makes it possible to still work full time. However at times it did feel like a balancing act!!
This course has taught me not only about my chosen subjects bit also self-discipline, time management skills and the method of learning new techniques. These skills will also hopefully aid my progress through university.
To be honest I thought the course would be a lot easier than it was but this also made it a lot more rewarding to complete it and made me very proud of the work that I have produced. I would like to thank DistanceLearningCentre.com for enabling me to get a step closer to my dream career. I also want to thank my tutor who was always helpful, friendly and supportive whilst providing me with the reassurance which I sometimes needed.

Previously working as a Quantity Surveyor I decided to have a career change and go into the Health Industry. I came across DistanceLearningCentre.com where they offer the opportunity to study in your own time, along with a legit qualification that allows you to get into Higher Education. Studying the Access to Health Professions Diploma has been really interesting and it is so well laid out and easy to understand.
My knowledge has gone through the roof and I have been able to retain all the information that has been given which is hands down due to the excellent teaching methods by the tutors. I certainly achieved higher than I ever thought I would with the support of the tutors. They are friendly and very approachable helping you every step of the way.
This course was the best decision I have made and I have already had feedback from University's that accept the qualification itself meeting their requirements. I plan to study a Degree In Nutrition or Dietetics. If you are wanting to study to gain access into Higher Education or to simply enhance your C.V this is the way to go. Thank you DistanceLearningCentre.com it has been a pleasure.

At the end of October 2012 I had the biggest shock ever while filling in my UCAS application, when I realised that UCAS no longer accepted my qualifications. I was determined to make the 2013 intake to study midwifery so decided I needed to gain some acceptable qualifications quickly!! DistanceLearningCentre.com was recommended to me by a friend, so I explored what they offered and the next day I enrolled.
I had obviously set myself a huge challenge to complete the whole course in just 7 months, in time for the June moderation dates, and I definitely could not have done this in college. Many people had advised me that this wasn't possible, however I knew with my determination and help from the various tutors I would succeed. Every person I have had involvement with from my first step with DistanceLearningCentre.com has been ever so helpful and encouraging, even though there was no face to face contact. I was offered weekly phone calls and my tutors were always quick to reply by email whatever time of the day it was, whether it was working hours or 11 o'clock at night!!
The course itself (Access to Nursing and Midwifery) has been a joy to complete. With the new materials and marking criteria, I found my way around easily and would recommend this way of learning to anyone, in fact I already have! I found it all really interesting and it was a godsend really that I did complete the access course, as I would have been completely oblivious to all the science aspects in September.
Currently, I have a conditional offer for Salford University to study Midwifery and I am currently waiting to pass my occupational health tests. Advice for anyone debating this route? It's an absolute MUST, and I'm genuinely going to be sad that it's all over!! Thank you DistanceLearningCentre.com for making my dreams come true, I am unconditionally grateful to every single one of you!!
