IS FAST FORWARD LIKE THE ACCESS TO HE COURSE?
An Access to Higher Education course is a level 3 qualification that can typically be completed in 1 year and is widely recognised by UK Universities. However, depending on your previous experience and/or educational qualifications you may be eligible to apply for a UA92 course without completing an Access to HE course. Fast Forward is a 1 week short course that aims to help prepare you for Higher Education and support you on to the correct pathway.

Success Stories
Sports Coach. Uni Sceptic. UA92 Student.
The Fast Forward course was Kelsey’s ticket back to education. She’s now working towards her dream career by studying Sports Coaching at UA92.
“After leaving college, I started coaching sports, a job I absolutely loved! I did some coaching qualifications but realised that if I wanted to progress as a coach, I needed to look at higher education. I knew it wasn’t straight forward as I didn’t have traditional qualifications and I had been out of education for a while. Someone recommended the Fast Forward course at UA92 so I took a leap of faith and signed myself up. After a week on the course I knew I wanted to come here and after initially doing a Cert HE, I’m now in the second year of my degree.”
