Everyday Midwives perform the extraordinary job of bringing new life into the world. They regularly develop meaningful relationships with expectant mothers and fathers and provide comfort and reassurance to people when they need it most. If this sounds like something you could do then this Diploma could be the perfect option for you.
If you dream of becoming a Midwife, the Access to HE Diploma (Midwifery) will equip you with all the knowledge you need to apply for a course at degree level. Whilst preparing students for the challenges of academia, this Access to Higher Education Diploma will also help students build a foundation of knowledge in everything from Biology to Health Studies and Psychology.
Life is unpredictable, and circumstances change, which is why you may not want to wait until September to enrol on an Access to HE Diploma. If you want to study you can start right away, or at another time that is convenient for you. The Access to Higher Education Diploma (Midwifery) has been specifically designed to suit people who have been out of the formal education system for a while. Because there are no classes to attend, individuals with family and work commitments can still fulfil their career ambitions by fitting their studies around their schedule. You will be provided with an Individual Learning Plan that outlines the submission deadlines for your assignments to keep you on track throughout your studies. An Access to HE Diploma can be completed within two years. However, on average, learners take 8 to 9 months to complete their course.
Once you have enrolled on your Access to HE Diploma, the rest of the process is pretty self-explanatory. Every student will be provided with a comprehensive set of interactive learning materials. Everything supplied is simple to access and easy to understand. As well as this, all learners have access to our expert tutors, who are there to provide you with guidance and support throughout your studies.
As this is a distance learning programme, students will need to take full responsibility of their own study timetables. This means they will need to develop the discipline to work independently and learn how to plan their time effectively.
The Access to HE Diploma (Midwifery) will be made up of a number of units and assignments. Once you have completed each assignment, you will submit it for marking. Your tutors will then grade your work and provide you with feedback. You should begin your next assignment by drawing on the feedback from the previous units.
The Access to Higher Education Diploma (Midwifery) is a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification that is fully regulated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). In order to achieve this diploma, you must achieve 60 credits in total. You should note that 45 of these credits are taken from graded units which are focused on the different subject areas. The remaining 15 credits are from ungraded units which are included to help you develop your academic writing and study skills.
Once you have completed your Diploma, you will be able to progress to an undergraduate degree course. After successfully completing your university degree, you will be able to start working as a fully qualified Midwife.
A practicing Midwife has plenty of opportunities available to them. These include:
On successful completion of the Open College Network West Midlands Access to Higher Education Diploma (Midwifery) you will receive a QAA recognised Access to HE Diploma at level 3 (QAA ref:40006669). This course has also been assigned 60 credits.
Learners must have GCSE in both English and Maths at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) or be working towards these qualifications. They also need to aspire to study a Midwifery degree at university.
Access to Higher Education Diplomas are widely accepted as an alternative to 'A Levels' for University entry and have a proven track record of helping students to secure a place on their chosen degree.
Learners should, however, be aware that Universities each apply their own entry requirements, and these vary broadly depending on the reputation and popularity of the university and of the degree programme that relates to your area of interest.
These variable admission criteria may include but are not limited to:
It is vitally important that each student investigates the entry requirements of a range of universities that they could practically attend to determine if the Access to HE Diploma, and units included in the course, will meet university entry requirements.
Students should complete this exercise as early as possible so that they can plan for which establishment they will be applying to, and start to work towards it.
Whilst we have the fullest confidence that the Access to Higher Education Diplomas are compliant and perfectly sufficient to form part of a University application, Stonebridge Associated Colleges will not be able to accept any liability for the inability of any Access to Higher Education student to secure an offer from a Higher Education establishment due to the variables involved.
