The Access HE Diploma courses are comprised of specific pathways which are relevant to the degree you are aiming for. Each Subject is split into a number of topics that include Self-Assessment Questions (SAQ's) and activities. Each unit is assessed by the completion of the Tutor Assessed Questions (TAQ's) which form a formal assessment. Because many universities want to see evidence of examination style assessments DLC offer an examination either via Skype or at our offices in each of the major subject sets you will take as part of the diploma.

Whichever pathway you choose you will always complete:

  1. Study skills at level 3 (ungraded)
  2. Research Methods at level 3 (graded)
  3. Introductory level 3 units in the academic subject sets.
