Access Course

Hi guys, I am just wondering if anyone knows the answer to my question.

I am currently studying a 2 year Access Course and it will be completed next June/July. My problem is that I will not be ready to go to University that September as my financial situation is not the best.

I am wondering how long the Access course is valid for, or if it is transferable regardless of how long ago you studied it. I do not think I would be ready for at least another 2/3 years financially to be able to study at university.

Your answers are much appreciated.

    In Hampshire, they were valid for 7 years when I was working in this area a couple of years ago. As far as I know, they have always had a point in where they were no longer counted as recent study.
    Your tutors will be able to tell you if that is the case now.
