If becoming a Nurse is your ultimate goal, but with the current cost of living, you feel like it’s out of reach financially, we have some good news for you!
If you pick a course provider like learndirect for your Access to HE Diploma (Nursing), the first step in your journey to becoming a Nurse, you’ll find affordable payment options that will allow you to kickstart your new career without having to wait for your savings to catch up.
What payment options are available?
At learndirect, we want to ensure learning is accessible for everyone and that everyone can pursue their dream career, so we have a range of payment options, to suit a range of budgets.
Pay in Full
If you already have some money set aside and want to make sure your course is paid off immediately, so you don’t need to budget for repayments over time, then paying in full is a great option for you. This involves paying the total cost of the course at the time of enrolment.
You can choose to either:
- Pay in full with your credit or debit card
- Pay in full through your PayPal account
If you’re looking to make a payment in full, this can be processed through the online application, or you can contact one of our team.
Employer Contributions Payment
Many workplaces are happy to contribute to the funding of online courses and continuing education, if it means their employees develop skills to help them in their work. If you’re already working in the medical profession (or something related) your employer may be happy to contribute towards, or fully cover, the cost of your Access to Higher Education Diploma (Nursing).
Spread The Cost Over Instalments
Managing your course fees shouldn't be a hurdle. We offer flexible repayment plans to help you balance your Access to HE Diploma studies with your everyday expenses.
Interest-Free Options
- PayPal ‘Pay in 3’: Split your fees into three interest-free payments over three months.
- learndirect Buy Now Pay Later: Spread the cost over up to 12 months interest-free (unregulated).
Extended Finance (Up to 48 Months)
If you prefer smaller monthly repayments over a longer period, we offer regulated finance through our trusted partners:
- Snap Finance: Spread payments over up to 48 months.
- Premium Credit, learndirect Finance, or The Student Funding Company: Spread payments over up to 24 months.
Note: Finance options vary by course and status. You’ll need to be 18+ and complete your payments before receiving your qualification certificates. Missed payments may incur fees or impact your credit file.

Making things even more affordable

Online course
To save you money from the very start of your journey, we’ve made sure our Access to HE Diploma (Nursing) is delivered 100% online, with no additional hidden fees. Being able to study online means you won’t have to budget for transport costs to and from your classes, as you would with an in-person course, or sacrifice any working hours, meaning you can remain at your current job while you study and won’t need to adjust to a reduced income in order to achieve your dream.
You also won’t need to worry about having wasted your hard-earned money if you miss a class, as all live sessions are recorded, and you can study at your own pace. All the material will be waiting for you to pick up where you left off on your online portal, so you can make sure that you don’t have any gaps in your knowledge (making sure you get your money’s worth!).
You’ll also have access to an experienced team of tutors throughout your course and be able to complete your studies within one year, depending on your pace, so you’ll get a quality education for less (online courses are much cheaper in general) and be able to start your nursing degree earlier than anticipated – win, win!
