Our programmes are specifically designed for adults who are returning to education after a gap, and who have the motivation and ability to go on to study at university or for a higher level qualification (HNC) at college.
Since SWAP began in 1989, thousands of people have successfully returned to education via our access programmes. For many, SWAP is the first step in a life-changing and life-enhancing educational journey.
“I am 35 years old, a single mum, and a part-time domestic. After separating from my husband, I made a choice to follow a long-time dream to become a registered nurse. This has been a most enjoyable year. Hard work and difficult at times, but I have exceeded my own expectations."
