I wanted to fulfil my lifelong ambition of becoming a midwife and to do this at my preferred university I had to show evidence of study within the last five years. Being a mum and having two part time jobs doesn't give me much time to go to college, so DistanceLearningCentre.com was the perfect choice.
After worrying about how DistanceLearningCentre.com would work and if it would be right for me, I was amazed at how assessable the tutors were. Any questions I had were fully answered by email, a phone call or Skype. The tutors want you to do well and they show great enthusiasm for their specialized subject, I can't praise them enough for all the encouragement they gave me.
I set myself a year to complete the Access course and by setting my own targets dates I could be flexible in these, which really works for a person who doesn't like deadlines! The course content is interesting and covers a wide range of topics, from demonstrating your essay skills to filling out a UCAS form. The materials are online to aid you in all your subjects and are easy to understand.
At the end of the course I achieved the University's entry requirements and have been offered a place to start Midwifery in September 2013. I sincerely recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to anyone wanting a pathway into University. The DistanceLearningCentre.com tutors made me realise what I can achieve, thank you!

When I found out about DistanceLearningCentre.com I was immediately intrigued because it could fit around other commitments and I would study from home. Since then I had moved back to my mums to fully concentrate on the course. It is best to start as early as possible, however I enrolled at the start of October.
The course is challenging and there is a lot to learn, so most of my time was dedicated to the course; however the coursework eases you back into learning. On completion of the course it felt extremely rewarding and I am so glad I decided to go down this path. The learning format is well structured and the tutors and very friendly and professional; helping every step of the way.
Overall I would highly recommend studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com if you want to take the leap of going back into education and you know what you want to do.

Due to my lack of A levels I would never have been able to enrol on a university course in midwifery and therefore, when searching for an Access course I came across DistanceLearningCentre.com. After reading about what DistanceLearningCentre.com had to offer and the statements in the hall of fame, I decided that this would be perfect for me.
I was able to study at my own pace, in my time and without the added pressure of deadlines. I found that my tutors were both very helpful and replied to emails in a quick and informative manner. I also had the chance to speak to them on a weekly basis via the telephone.
Overall I found that studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com was a brilliant route to go down in obtaining my qualifications and would highly recommend them to anyone looking into studying an Access course.

I am 31 years old and for over 11 years I have worked in the care sector with adults with learning and mental health issues. I really enjoy my current job and it is very rewarding, however it was always a dream of mine to become a midwife.
Due to personal circumstances and full time work commitments I found it difficult to work towards becoming a midwife in the past as many access courses within colleges didn't fit into my life. I came across DistanceLearningCentre.com online and it was perfect for me to still work full time and study the access to health professions course around my family. It was hard work, working full time and being a single mum but I was committed to achieving the qualifications I needed to apply to Uni. The support I received from the tutors was always encouraging and spurred me on when I found things difficult.

I left school without many qualifications. I then entered the world of employment and into a job that didn't highly interest or motivate me. During my pregnancy I was lucky enough to be looked after by some brilliant Midwives and to also encounter some fabulous Doctors and Nurses; they all inspired me to consider a profession in health care. I wasn't sure where to start so I started doing some research online. I wanted to be a full time mother to my daughter, whilst also studying. I realised that DistanceLearningCentre.com would fit perfectly around my home life, and after reading countless positive reviews I decided to take the plunge.
I initially chose to study the Access to Midwifery course; however the qualifications that I have gained will allow me to stand in good stead should I consider Nursing amongst other health professions.
Studying with DistanceLearningCentre.com has been challenging at times, however the tutors are brilliant and work very hard to ensure that their students are extremely well supported and motivated. I am now looking forward to submitting an application to university this year and to also providing a brighter future for myself and my family. I would like to take this opportunity to thank DistanceLearningCentre.com for providing an excellent service.
