ATHE qualifications have several benefits.
Because ATHE’s qualifications have been developed with colleges and universities, the organisation has special partnerships with a range of higher education institutions. These arrangements could enable you to skip a year of your degree course for every level you complete with ATHE.
For example, completing the Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law will enable you to move on to an LLB top-up degree programme (the final year of university).
Spending fewer years studying at a UK university will significantly reduce your tuition fees. Many ATHE qualifications are also eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan, which could help you to cover the cost of your course.
You can study ATHE qualifications in a classroom, by distance learning or via a combination of the two. You’ll also be able to choose between studying on a full-time or part-time basis, which could be particularly useful if you’re a mature student. Most ATHE qualifications feature mandatory core units and optional units which are designed to allow specialisation.
Some ATHE qualifications in areas such as computing and social care, include a relevant work experience placement that will help you to gain valuable practical skills. These will help to boost your employability.
