Q: "What A-Levels do I need for nursing?"

It’s a question thousands of aspiring nurses ask every month, but here’s the secret: You don’t need A-Levels at all.

While most universities require Level 3 qualifications for a nursing degree, you don’t have to head back to college for two years to get them.

Our Access to HE Diploma (Nursing) is designed specifically for adults who want a faster, more flexible route into healthcare. It’s a direct alternative to A-Levels that carries the UCAS points you need to secure your place at university.

Why choose the Access to HE route?

✔️No A-Levels required: Skip the traditional 2-year classroom route.
✔️100% online: Study whenever and wherever suits your schedule.
✔️UCAS ready: Gain up to 144 UCAS points (equivalent to 3 A-Levels at AAA).
✔️Fast-track: Be ready to apply for your degree in as little as a year.

Ever felt like education just wasn’t designed for you?

That’s something many adults struggle with, especially when balancing work, health, family life, or returning to studying after years away from education.

One of our learners, Ann Marie, shared how important accessibility was to her as a wheelchair user when deciding whether returning to education would even feel possible.

That’s why accessibility in education matters. Flexible, inclusive learning can open doors, rebuild confidence, and help more people move towards the future they want.

This Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we’re highlighting the importance of making learning work for more people.
