QAA launches new diploma

28 Jun 2007

The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) has revised its existing Access to Higher Education certificate qualification as part of a programme of actions to attract more people to consider returning to university – even if they left school with no qualifications. The new unique, nationally-recognised, diploma qualification will be available to all who successfully complete an Access to Higher Education course.

By 2008-09, the Access to HE certificate will have been phased out and all QAA-recognised Access to HE courses will lead to the award of the Diploma. Further information about Access to Higher Education can be accessed at www.accesstohe.ac.uk
