Overview
The Pre-Access Certificate in Preparing for Further Study in Education is intended to support progression to an Access to HE Diploma in a related area. You will attend college one day per week.
The Certificate will provide you with a firm foundation in terms of knowledge, skills and understanding of education, while at the same time giving you the opportunity to develop and practice your study skills. You will have the chance to practise producing written work in the format expected when progressing to an Access to HE Diploma and to experience the same approach to assessment, making you better prepared for further study.
Am I right for the course?
