Access To HE Welcomes New Students Starting In January 2021

We are delighted to support the new #AccesstoHE #JanuaryStart campaign to raise awareness of Access to Higher Education, the benefits for learners and to encourage as many people as possible to start a Diploma in January 2021.

During times like this, we often see an uptake in people wanting to upskill and retrain. With many Access to HE Diplomas centred around key occupational areas and critical skills gaps, this makes Access to HE an ideal mode of study and an important resource in responding to local and national needs to support a rapid recovery from the impact of the pandemic.

UK’s Number 1 Access Validating Agency (AVA)

With 45 years’ experience and being the UK’s largest AVA we are proud to offer a diverse portfolio of over 20 diplomas, with many covering critical subjects including Nursing & Midwifery, Health & Social Care, Allied Health Professions, Counselling & Psychology, Paramedic Science, Business, Engineering, Education, Computing, Practitioner in Substance Misuse, Policing & Criminal Justice and many more.

Recruiting Learners

We understand that learner recruitment can be difficult and finding time to create marketing materials for recruitment is challenging. As a result, we have created a bank of materials to help with this, which we are constantly developing and expanding on. Our Access to HE recruitment pack includes:

  • Learner Information
  • Posters and Printables
  • Social Media Content

We are currently in the process of adding to our recruitment pack with some great new resources coming in January.

How to get involved in the January Start Campaign

To get involved in the campaign to encourage learners to upskill and retrain by starting an Access to HE course in January, simply post on social media using the hashtags #AccesstoHE and #JanuaryStart.
