For over 30 years Gateway Qualifications has developed Access to HE Diplomas and seen the positive difference these qualifications make to learners’ lives.
We are as passionate today as we were at the start and that is why we continue to develop and improve our Access to HE offer. Our streamlined, non-bureaucratic approach makes your life easier without compromising validity.
Through our licence with the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), we have a rating of low risk and full compliance with the new diploma specification. Our Access to HE Diploma programmes deliver consistent high quality across the range of some 60 titles.

Access to HE Centre Handbook
This handbook is a reference tool to help recognised Gateway Qualifications providers deliver our Access to HE Diploma. It covers the cycle of Access to HE activity from registration, planning and tracking of student achievement, to claiming certificates.
Pre-Access
Take a look at our suite of qualifications that are designed to support progression onto Access to HE Diplomas
Implementing Access to HE for both learner and centre benefits
“Gateway Qualifications has been incredibly flexible in allowing me to select units and create pathways. This means that I co-teach certain units across pathways meaning my staffing costs are reduced, making it more financially viable to run.” – Tracey Page, Programme Coordinator for Access to HE, Seevic College
