Learner Testimonials About Level 2 Adult Care Diploma

Balancing family life and part-time work looked like an obstacle when it came to studying but the Level 2 course fit around my routine effortlessly, and whenever I had a question, someone was always there to guide me. I’m looking ahead to Level 3 with the same confidence now.

I went in unsure of what to expect, but after the first week it was obvious I’d enrolled in the right place. Completing my initial module felt like a genuine step forward, and it motivated me to keep pushing. A big shout out to my tutors for their support.

Before this course, I was new to adult care and unsure if I had what it takes to support residents properly. The Level 2 Diploma gave me practical knowledge and confidence to do my job well. The guidance from Access Skills was excellent, and the course helped me understand how to provide safe, person-centered care. I’d recommend it to anyone starting out in care.”

“I’ve recently completed my QCF Level 5 in Leadership and Management in Adult Care with Access Skills, and I can honestly say it’s been a challenging but incredibly rewarding journey.

The course content was thorough and relevant to real-life practice, giving me the tools I needed to grow both professionally and personally. It was hard work – especially balancing studies with running a care business – but absolutely worth the effort.

I want to give special thanks to Dawn, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. Her guidance, encouragement, and expert knowledge made a real difference and helped keep me on track during the tougher parts of the course. She genuinely cared and went the extra mile, which I’ll always be grateful for.

If you’re thinking about doing your Level 5, I highly recommend Access Skills. Be prepared to put in the work – but know that the support is there, and the outcome is well worth it.”
