Hi, I'm wondering if anybody knows how they classify adult higher education access courses (the kind a person with little formal education can take in order to get into University) for funding purposes?
Are they higher education (as a standard undergrad degree) or in the same categories as A-Levels and other "sixth-form" courses?
Cheers.

Access courses are level 3 - equivalent to A levels.0
