ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION DIPLOMA (HEALTH) STOCKTON RIVERSIDE COLLEGE

“When I decided where I wanted to go with my career, I realised I didn’t have the qualifications to get there. I started with an access course at Stockton Riverside College, and stepping back into education has given me the motivation to consider studying further too. The tutors have been so supportive and helpful, and the environment around you is very friendly. Studying again has given me a lot of confidence in my abilities, and I would recommend it to everyone.”
