Course overview
The Access to Higher Education Diploma in Engineering is an Adult Only qualification that prepares engineers who are over 18 after completing a Level 2 qualification, may not have the traditional qualifications (e.g. A-Levels) for a direct entry route to Degree/HNC Level or for those wishing to make a career change or who have been out of formal education for a significant time to help build their skills and confidence.
The QAA fully regulates the diploma and is a widely recognised progression route by most UK universities.
