Celebrating World Access to Higher Education Day with Access to HE Diplomas
In celebration of World Access to Higher Education Day, we're shining a spotlight on our Access to HE Diplomas.
Access to HE Diplomas can transform lives by enabling learners who do not have traditional qualifications to progress onto degree courses in higher education.
These Diplomas:
- are highly respected qualifications and acknowledged routes to higher education throughout both the FE and HE sectors
- provide the knowledge and skills needed to progress to Level 4 at University or College
- enable learners who may be lacking in confidence, without formal educational backgrounds or who have other commitments, to succeed in Higher Education.
Solutions for online and blended delivery through Pearl
Centres are considering more online and blended delivery approaches than ever before; so we wanted to remind you of our innovative Pearl platform to support this transition.
- Pearl is a full spectrum online learning platform, bringing together all that is positive about online learning.
- Pearl enables the delivery of Access to HE Diplomas through a blended learning option, allowing easy integration of modules into your current delivery.
Benefits of using our online provision:
- Ready prepared content and assessment materials
- Save time and tutor resources
- Increased income and participation

Pre-Access / Skills for Further Study qualifications
Some learners require additional support and preparation before they undertake an Access course.
Pre-Access qualifications are designed, therefore, to prepare learners for the challenges of Level 3 study and equip them with the skills they need to progress onto and complete a Level 3 Access to Higher Education Diploma.
We have created a range of Pre-Access qualifications at Level 2 that are all eligible for funding.
Our Level 2 Certificate - Skills in Further Study are available in:
- Business, Administration and Law
- Education
- Health
- Preparation for Work and Study
- Science and Engineering
- Social and Community Work
- Social Science and Humanities
