For Adults over 19 looking to progress to Higher Education, our Access to HE Pathways may be more appropriate, as they are one year not two, and you can use an Advanced Learner Loan which will be waived once you graduate from your degree. And don’t worry if you haven’t done GCSEs or you don’t quite get the grades you were expecting. We can help you with that too via our Pathway programme or adult evening classes, that will enable you to sit or resit GCSEs to get you onto the A Level courses or Access to HE programme you’re after.
