Access courses

Hi guys,

I've seen a lot of people posting and checked many threads about people doing accesses at 18, does anyone know of any collages which do this as all of my local ones state you have to be 19+. I've got multiple years experience in the field i want to go in to (nursing or paramedicine, very undecided atm) as I've been working part time since 16 and decided to leave collage this year and take a full time post up so experience and funding isn't an issue.

Cheers,
Jessie

The reason the courses are 19 plus is because they are aimed at adults who have not studied level 3 qualifications such as A levels or a BTEC. The government funds places for eligible 19-23 year olds. Access courses are intensive and full time therefore having a full time job isn't possible for most people.
