Access to Higher Education Primary Teaching
-
My tutor encouraged me to maintain a positive approach. I cannot thank my tutor enough. Completing the Access to Higher Education Primary Teaching course was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, balancing studies, family and work was very hard but my appointed tutors proved invaluable. They were always on hand to provide support and guidance and were very understanding of the difficulties that people face while completing additional learning. The modules and assessments were detailed and informative and presented in a way that was clear and concise. I would highly recommend Distance Learning Centre.

Out of learning for more than 20 years. Working at a full time position which implied a ton of movement from one place to other and additionally having a developing family implied that getting the capabilities to change to my picked vocation would be troublesome. My fantasy was dependably to be a Primary School Teacher however not having the degree that was required was an obstacle for me.
