Hi Anne,
I am almost at the end of my course at Leeds Met, and can honestly say I
have enjoyed the experience, even though I am particularly stressed at
the moment!
I am based near Hull and travel by train to Leeds, one of my friends on
the course travels from Lincoln. What ever you decide I may be able to
offer some support with your studies as we share a link via Dr Guest who
is OHP for us.
Good luck with your search.
Regards
Cheryl

Hello Anne
It is difficult to comment about courses other than my own as I
don't know their specific rules. However, the general principles will be
the same. Think of academic courses a bit like going up an escalator in
a three story building. Level 1,(also known as level 4) is the first
floor and the equivalent of the first year of a university degree. Level
2 (also known as 5) is the second floor - second year of a degree. The
third year is level 3 (also known as 6).
The diplomas of Warwick and Uni Glam are both excellent courses
but they are delivered at diploma level which is level 2(AKA level 5)
the academic level of the second year of a degree programme. The
academic level does not relate to how good courses are just what "floor"
in the educational escalator they are taught at. So the short answer is
that it is unlikely that you will get exemptions from a course delivered
at level 3(6). However, entry to level 3 courses usually requires
previous study at level 2 so the diploma would be what would get you
into the course; rather like A levels are the entry point to a degree
studied straight from school at the age of 18. Don't be disheartened as
it does mean that you go straight to the third year of a degree
programme. When I first started teaching at the RCN academic credit
wasn't given for having an RGN so those people had to do all three years
of a degree programme.
Although we have had students from Lincolnshire registering on
our programme (we have had students travel from Scotland, Ireland and
Wales before now) I suspect that the nearest course to you for face to
face teaching would be Leeds Met, give Becky a call. The alternative is
D/L at either University of West of Scotland or Robert Gordon
University. D/L doesn't suit everyone - it requires a high level of self
discipline but it is great option for those who have that.

Hello Anne
Could you just clarify for me if this applies if you
also studied at Warwick Diploma for the Diploma in OH, as I am planning
to further my studies hopefully next year & will be devastated if
nothing can be be accredited.
I am based in North Lincolnshire/South Humberside &
would ideally need to look for something more local, so sadly London
would be too far for me to travel. I have heard nothing but great things
about your course & remembering you lecturing us at Warwick a few years
ago.
Kind Regards

Hello Georgina
The diploma you have completed at Uni Glam is taught at
second year degree level - level 2 - (known in some institutions as
level5). All the SCPHN courses are currently taught at level 3 (AKA
level 6) and therefore it is unlikely that you would be able to make an
APL claim as the levels are different. However, on the plus side, you
should find degree level OHN study easy and you will be at a distinct
advantage. I have taught several students with the Warwick Diploma in OH
and having completed that course puts them at a distinct advantage.
Not sure where in the country you are based. We are
based near Waterloo and a number of underground stations if you would be
interested in studying with us. If so please contact me off list on this
email address.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could advise me the best
route to take to obtain a OH degree. I have recently obtained my OH
diploma at the university of Glamorgan and wonder if I can APL what I
have already done and top up to go on and get a degree.
I have found out that the Robert Gordon
university do offer a long distance learning degree but I cannot APL
any of my dip. Is this the case for all university's offering the OH
degree course?
Thanks in anticipation
Georgie
