Pathway to Nursing (Pre-Access to Nursing) (Level 2)

This qualification is intended for you if you are aged 19+ and if you have no formal qualifications and need to develop your skills and knowledge before progressing onto a Level 3 Access to Nursing diploma and you are returning to learning after a break from education.

You will undertake a Level 2 BTEC Science course plus a GCSE in English and a Functional Skills qualification in Maths. Units include:

• Principles of Science
• Biology and our Environment
• Scientific Skills
• The Living Body.

English and maths are an essential part of your studies and will help you succeed on your course. These subjects help you develop confidence and are key employability skills that recruiting employers look for. If you have not achieved GCSE grade C or above in English and Maths you will need to continue studying these subjects. We will ensure you have the right lessons and support to improve your English and maths.

Our full-time courses are designed to help you achieve your ambitions whether your goal is to go on to a higher level of study or whether you are looking to start a job. Therefore as part of your course there will be employability and study skills (we call these PD Central) that are included to meet your needs and those of the industry you want your career in.
