Pre Access to Care

This course will be studied three evenings per week for 32 weeks. It is purposefully designed for those already working in the Care Field, who are keen to have a future career in Nursing/Midwifery, social Work or Primary Teaching.

We give full individual and careful consideration to every application. You do not need any formal qualifications to join this course but we are looking for a period out of formal education and appropriate literacy and numeracy skills which indicate that you are ready for this course (we help you to establish this at interview).

We also expect to see good interpersonal skills, commitment to the area of study and enthusiasm and understanding of your chosen career route.

This course is designed for those already in employment but those hoping to gain work in this area will also be considered.
