If you’re a parent and you’ve ever dreamt about going back into education, you might have found yourself wondering: is it even possible? With the daily juggle of childcare, work, household responsibilities, and everything in between, adding study into the mix can feel overwhelming. We’re here to tell you that it absolutely is possible and it might just be one of the most empowering decisions you ever make.
At Access Courses Online, we’ve helped countless parents take that brave first step back into learning. Whether you’re hoping to become a nurse, midwife, teacher, or take a new direction entirely, our flexible online courses are designed to fit around real life - messy, busy, beautiful real life.
One Module at a Time
Many of our students come to us after time away from formal education. Some left school early, others chose to raise their families first, and many simply weren’t sure which path to take until now. What they all have in common is the decision to invest in themselves and their futures.
With our Access to Higher Education Diplomas, you can gain the qualifications you need to apply for university, even if you don’t have A-Levels. The best part? You can study from the comfort of your own home, at times that suit your family life. Early mornings, nap times, evenings after bedtime - it’s entirely up to you.
You're Not Alone in This
Being a parent is a full-time job in itself, and we understand how much emotional and practical load that can carry. That’s why our tutors are not just subject experts, they’re people who truly care. They’re here to support you every step of the way, offering personalised guidance and encouragement throughout your course.
We’ve seen students complete diplomas while breastfeeding, managing school runs, working night shifts, and caring for family members. It’s not always easy, but it is possible with the right support, structure, and belief in yourself.
Your Learning, Your Way
Our courses are entirely online and self-paced, which means there’s no need to rearrange your entire life to go back to school. You’ll have access to all the resources you need, regular feedback from your tutor, and the reassurance that you’re never alone, even if you’re studying in your pyjamas at midnight.
You’ll also join a growing community of likeminded adult learners, many of whom are parents just like you, pushing forward, step by step, toward a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Because Your Dreams Still Matter
It’s so easy, especially as a parent, to put your own goals on the back burner. But what if your children saw you chasing those dreams? What if they watched you study, work hard, and achieve something just for you? Imagine what that could teach them about resilience, ambition, and self-worth.
At Access Courses Online, we believe that it’s never too late to start again. We’re here to make sure you don’t just ask the question “Is it really possible?” but that you get to answer it with a proud and confident “Yes.”
