I found out about DistanceLearningCentre.com while Googling further education options, as I knew I was going to need evidence of recent study to support my Midwifery application. Finding a course that was tailor-made for my requirements (work from home, at my own pace, not too much money to pay up-front!) was fantastic - I just knew this was all going to work out!
I found the course fascinating, but much harder (and more!) work than I was expecting. I would say to anyone contemplating DistanceLearningCentre.com to give yourself plenty of time - I personally would recommend at least a year - although of course it depends on how much time you have to dedicate to studying.
The tutors know their stuff and the communication system works well. In my particular case they really had to pull the stops out as, having been offered a place for January 2010, my university had to cancel this intake and in August 2009 I was invited to start in September 2009 instead. I had been anticipating finishing the course over a further leisurely 3 months and instead had to get it all done, including the exam, in a matter of four weeks!
It certainly prepared me for university in terms of hard work and my tutor was absolutely brilliant, turning over my work as fast as she could and liaising with the university on my behalf as my work would not be able to be moderated until November as I had missed the June moderation date.
I have now commenced my degree and have come away from the DistanceLearningCentre.com course with renewed enthusiasm for academic work and increased confidence in my own abilities.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the DistanceLearningCentre.com course! It has been so convenient for me, and being able to work at my own pace meant I felt in control of my own learning. My self confidence increased enormously with each module I completed, and I loved the sense of achievement that came with each mark sheet!
I have surprised myself with how well I have done! The best part for me has definitely been the meeting of like-minded people on the forums; everyone is so supportive and the encouragement of the staff and fellow students are invaluable, particularly during those times when things seem to be a struggle!
I'm very grateful to DistanceLearningCentre.com for helping me to get on the road to University and realise my dream of becoming a Midwife!
November 2009 - Terry Gardiner
After 24 years in the military the course provided by DistanceLearningCentre.com has given me the platform to go on to study in the exciting and challenging field of Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Cumbria. DistanceLearningCentre.com has provided me the skill set and confidence which has enabled me to embark on a completely different career path and the opportunity to hopefully fulfil my academic potential.

The Access to Higher Education through DistanceLearningCentre.com has given me the flexibility to accommodate study around my family and other work commitments in order to fulfil my dream to become a midwife. Without this course I would not be able to follow my dream and have enjoyed getting back to studying again.
The course has also given me a huge confidence boost in firstly being able to complete it in the given timescale and also, not just pass the course, but achieve high marks for some of my work. I now really believe that I can do my degree and that childbirth and several years as a parent haven't completely destroyed all of my brain cells!
Thank you to DistanceLearningCentre.com for giving me this opportunity to fulfil my dream and gain both my qualifications and confidence.
June 2009 - Natalie Kinsey
I'm Natalie and I am 22 years old and live in Manchester. I have just completed the Access to Higher Education Diploma in Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare Professions, and must say I loved it. Working full-time and studying for other qualifications at the same time as this was difficult, but all the Tutors at DistanceLearningCentre.com were brilliant. They are all very understanding and always there to help.
The course itself was very interesting and covers many topics from the core subjects needed for your career pathway, Maths, English and I.T. So if you are not very confident about these subjects (and I wasn't great at Maths at School) then it's definitely a course I would recommend.
Thanks to my course with DistanceLearningCentre.com, I am now studying Bio-medical Science (Foundation) at University along with Anatomy, Physiology and Clinical Sciences. I am now on route to fulfilling my dream.
I would recommend DistanceLearningCentre.com to anybody looking to study an Access to Higher Education course. It will give you confidence, improve your self-esteem and get you on your way to achieving your career dreams. Good Luck to all current and future Students x
