Q: "What A-Levels do I need for nursing?"

It’s a question thousands of aspiring nurses ask every month, but here’s the secret: You don’t need A-Levels at all.

Ever felt like education just wasn’t designed for you?

That’s something many adults struggle with, especially when balancing work, health, family life, or returning to studying after years away from education.

One of our learners, Ann Marie, shared how important accessibility was to her as a wheelchair user when deciding whether returning to education would even feel possible.

That’s why accessibility in education matters. Flexible, inclusive learning can open doors, rebuild confidence, and help more people move towards the future they want.

This Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we’re highlighting the importance of making learning work for more people.
