Can I take a short course to enable me to progress through CPD?

Yes, at Academy Online Learning we offer flexible learning options for students and professionals who may not require the full 60-credit Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma for their progression.

If you have been advised that you need fewer than 60 credits to meet your university or professional development requirements, we encourage you to contact us directly to discuss your individual needs and explore the most suitable options available.

In addition to Access to HE Diplomas, we also offer short courses and essential qualifications that can support your academic or career progression, including:

  • Functional Skills in Mathematics – A nationally recognised qualification that can meet Level 2 Maths requirements for many universities and employers.
  • Functional Skills in English – Develops your English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, often required for entry to higher education and professional settings.
  • International GCSE (iGCSE) Mathematics – Widely accepted by universities as an equivalent to traditional GCSE Maths.
  • International GCSE (iGCSE) English Language – Recognised as an equivalent to GCSE English, supporting both university and career applications.
  • International GCSE (iGCSE) Human Biology – Ideal for students aiming to strengthen their science background for health-related university courses.

Whether you are looking to complete specific qualifications for university entry, career advancement, or continual professional development (CPD), Academy Online Learning offers a range of flexible, fully online study options designed to meet your goals.

Our team is available to help you plan your learning pathway and ensure you are on track to achieve your ambitions.
