We welcome anyone onto our CertHE course who can show us their determination to complete the qualification.

English proficiency
- IELTS 6.0 (no less than 5.5 in any element); or equivalent
- If English is not your first language we’ll provide one and a half additional hours of subject-specific academic English support each week.
