Access course to nursing. Learn direct.

Hey. I’ve just joined here, I’m doing an access course to nursing through learn direct and wanted to see if anyone else is doing it as it’s often hard doing it solo. I’m in unit 7.

Hi, how are you finding Learn Direct? Im looking to sign up to an access course online but not too sure which one would be best!

Hiya @JChoules I am nearly finished with my access to diploma Midwifery with LD. You will find the nursing course intense at times. But if I can get through my course so will you. You have done amazing 👏 congrats. Keep going! Nice to meet you and best of luck in the future

Hey, I saw that your also completing the same course as me with the same provider so I wanted to ask a question. I am doing an access to midwifery course with LearnDirect I started 28th August and currently working on my 4th unit but I'm worried I wont finish it before 2026 uni entry. If you don't mind, I would love to know how long it took you to complete the units and if you think I will be able to finish before uni 2026 entry.

Hello @naz8
Lovely to hear that you have begun your journey on the Midwifery course. I wish you the very best of luck! If you have any questions about the course I will try to help you as it is a demanding course.
I finished the Access to Midwifery course diploma course in June 2025 of this year. It took me about a year to complete fully. Around being a mum of three children and a carer for my grandmother. I brought the fast-track option as I found you were waiting up to seven days to hear back from the tutor with feedback and to know if you successfully achieved, or gained a Merit or Distinction on each unit with fast track it was within a day. Congratulations on completing unit 4. You have made a great start. Now keep going!
My advice if you will find it helpful is to create a routine that fits in around your other life committments. Write deadline dates in your diary of each assignment so you have a target and something to work towards. Try to aim for 1.5 assignments each month on average if doable just to stay on track. Try to finish the course by the end of June/first week of July. So that you get your overall grades modified, ratificated and finally certificated in time for September 2026. Also make sure you are paying your course fees monthly over 12 months. As long as you get your certificate by welcome week it should be okay for university. But I advice to check with your choice of university and you must keep them informed about the process of Learn Direct so they can note it and support you.
Unit 5 is difficult however you will not be alone in that unit. It is important to research gametogenesis both male, female, correctly label the diagrams within the unit and answer each individual assignment brief or task to get the higher grades. I don't know if the material has changed since when I completed it. Good luck.
