About Your Diploma

There are so many interesting and meaningful roles in healthcare, from Doctors to Dentists, Nurses to Midwives and more. Each plays an important part in helping people stay healthy, whether it’s by improving their physical or mental well-being. Healthcare courses represent the first steps towards achieving these career goals.

Can Online Healthcare Courses Replace Traditional Qualifications?

Many careers in the healthcare sector require you to have studied a degree specific to the area of work you want to go into, such as an approved midwifery degree ahead of registering and practising as a qualified Midwife. This often leaves people feeling their healthcare related career is out of reach if they don’t have the traditional qualifications to meet university entry requirements.

These days, university is much more accessible. A broader range of healthcare training courses are now accepted as adequate preparation for students going into higher level education. So, if you don’t currently hold traditional GCSEs or A Levels, that’s ok. You can take other alternative courses that will lead you down the same path and can get you there in much less time.

We Can Help You Choose the Right Path

If you’re considering a healthcare career but aren’t set on which area to focus on just yet, an Access to Higher Education Diploma (Healthcare Professionals) is the ideal course to help you get started. It can help you study many areas of healthcare at degree level.

The healthcare course has been designed to introduce you to a broad scope of healthcare practices, providing you with the foundational knowledge required to pursue a career through a degree in one of many potential areas.

This gives you the freedom to find your feet whilst you’re learning. You may feel you’d be more suited to one area of healthcare ahead of enrolling, but modules you’ll explore could ignite an interest to work in another service area instead.

To give you the maximum choice of healthcare degrees at university, you’ll learn about important aspects of many healthcare related careers. These include:

• Multidisciplinary approach to healthcare
• Anatomy
• Organisation and function of the muscular skeletal system
• Treatments used to support people with psychological disorders
