I have recently completed my Access to Higher Education Diploma in Science online with learndirect and achieved Distinction grades. As a mother with family responsibilities, studying online gave me the flexibility to continue my education and work towards my dream of going to university. Returning to study after a break was challenging, but learndirect provided me with the opportunity and support I needed to succeed. The course helped me improve my scientific knowledge, research skills, academic writing, and confidence. The assignments were challenging, but the feedback from tutors helped me develop and achieve my goals. I am very proud of completing this qualification with Distinction, and I am grateful to learndirect for helping me take this important step towards higher education and my future career. Thank you learndirect for being part of my journey. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a flexible route into university.
