Free training course to help you 'Get into Nursing'
The University of Chester has fully funded places available for its Get into Nursing short course in Birkenhead, to support learners who want to return to study, progress in their current career or to begin to study for a further qualification.
This part time course is a completely free opportunity for learners who don’t have the formal qualifications but have the relevant work experience in a healthcare setting and an interest in a nursing career. Prospective learners would need a reasonable level of English and entitlement to study in the UK.
The course involves five face-to-face sessions in total. Typically, these take place on one afternoon per week from 1.30pm to 4.30pm in a friendly and supportive environment with each learner having a personal Learner Mentor to guide and assist them in achieving their goals.
You'll learn about SWOT analysis; Resilience; Wellbeing; Reflection, Academic Writing and paraphrasing and referencing.
Learners will have an assignment to complete every week and a 1500-word assignment at the end of the five weeks. Support will be given with this.
The next course starts week commencing Monday 2nd June 2025. To apply visit the University of Chester's website - once you've clicked, scroll down the page to find the red 'apply now' button.
The Get into Nursing short course will be delivered at University of Chester learning sites at Birkenhead (CH41 5AL), Warrington (WA1 2NT) and Chester (CH1 1SL) and learners can ask to study in their preferred location.
