NINA PAL
Romanian born Nina completed a
degree in food technology in her native
country but after moving first to Italy,
then to the UK with her husband’s
job, she decided to make a complete
career change to become a midwife.
The mother of two took up the Pre-
Access course in Maths, English and
Science before starting the Access to
HE Diploma in Health. And now she’s
progressed to a Midwifery degree at
Liverpool John Moores University.
“Getting on to a midwifery course was a
dream come true. It’s very competitive,
but my tutor at the College gave me
lots of support when applying.”
Fees are paid annually for courses lasting more than one year. Fees in this guide are for the first year of the course, unless marked *

GCSEs
Retaking your GCSEs as an adult is a lot
more common than you might think. This
year we have added science options to
our usual Maths and English GCSEs for
you to study part-time in the evenings.
Don’t forget you are not alone - many
adults study for their GCSEs later on
in life, and find the experience to be a
much more positive than the first time
around. This is down to a number of
factors, from the different approach to
teaching than you experienced at school,
to the simple fact that as an adult, you
are in a completely different frame of
mind. Rather than feeling forced to take
your exams at a highly pressured time
of life, you are choosing to take them
to better yourself and therefore you are
instantly more engaged.
So, if you want to help your children with
homework, or need GSCEs to progress
towards further study or a career change
what are you waiting for?
