This Access to Higher Education Diploma (Paramedic Science) gives you the foundation knowledge and skills needed to apply for a paramedic science degree and become a vital part of the emergency medcial services.

It’s an extremely popular course and an excellent way to maximise your job prospects. The vast majority of universities and colleges will accept Access to Higher Education Diplomas as an entry requirement, but you are advised to check this with each of the establishments you’re interested in attending.

If you're a UK resident aged 19 or over then you may have pay your own fees but you can apply for the government backed Advanced Learner Loan. This will be paid back in monthly instalments but the payments only begin once you've finished the Access to HE diploma and are earning over over a certain amount - please check here for up-to-date details.

Ideally, once you've finished the Access to HE diploma you'll then go on to complete a higher education (HE) qualification, such as a degree course. The outstanding balance of your Advanced Learner Loan will then be written off.

We understand that with the time constraints of home and work life, our students don’t have to wait until September to enrol on a course and start studying. You can start your studies with us as soon as you enrol.

As this is a distance learning course, students will have to take full responsibility for their own study timetables. This means that you will need to develop the discipline to work independently and learn how to set realistic targets. We will also provide you with a learning plan to follow that sets out deadlines to work towards. With help from tutors and fellow students, you will not take that long to find your feet.
