The path to a better career, a university place or a new direction does not have to be complicated. Pass Learn brings it down to a simple set of options – online courses, recognised qualifications and expert guidance – so you can focus on moving forward rather than figuring out where to begin.

Access to HE: Opening University to Adults

The Access to Higher Education Diploma is one of the most important qualifications many people have never heard of. Designed for adults who missed the A Level route, studied online and regulated by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, it is accepted by universities across the UK as a legitimate pathway into degree-level study.

It is used most often to access programmes in nursing, midwifery, health, teaching, psychology, social work and youth work. Depending on the grades you earn, UCAS points are generated that count toward university entry – use the UCAS Tariff calculator to understand what they might mean in practice. Online A Level courses with private exam booking are also available.

Maths and English: Which Route Is Right?

For the majority of learners, Functional Skills Level 2 in Maths and English is the most practical solution. Accepted by most employers, training providers and universities as the equivalent of GCSE grade 4, it is completed online at home and available throughout the year. Level 1 provides a foundation for those who need it.

For learners who specifically need a GCSE grade, online GCSE courses with private candidate exam booking are the appropriate route.

A Platform That Adapts to Its Learners

Pass Learn is used by adults returning to education, school leavers seeking flexibility, career changers, apprentices, home-educated learners, resit students and private exam candidates. What they all have in common is a need for a practical way to gain a qualification that matters.

Support When It Counts

Pass Learn’s phone support team is available to help you identify the right qualification for your goals and circumstances. The National Careers Service provides useful context on what different professions and industries typically require.
