Access To Higher Education
8 Answers
Hiya
I hope some one can guide me. I have no GCSEs or a levels. I want to better myself and possibly become a legal executive. I’ve been searching course (access to higher education courses and initially they show that you don’t need former qualifications as a mature student, however when I go in the details but it tells me I need GCSEs. How do I proceed to do this course? I’m so lost and need guidance and help. I would appreciate any advice on which way forward I need to go to do this. Thanks

suggests that you'll probably need to work in two stages. i.e. obtain higher-level GCSE passes in Maths and English first and then go on to commence an Access course. I note though that the provider I've linked to is prepared to allow students onto the access course who've only got the GCSE English qualification, as long as they commit to studying GCSE Mathematics alongside their Access course. Other providers might offer something similar.

The only course in the Sheffield/Rotherham area showing on the Access to HE website is Law at The Sheffield College. However, regrettably, it's not showing up on the College's own website:
