Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in improving our lives, from diagnosing illnesses to providing compassionate care. Our practical courses are designed to give you the skills, knowledge and resilience needed to succeed in this field.
If you’re joining us straight from school, our vocational study programmes or T Levels are a great place to start.
If you want to get into university to study nursing or midwifery but don’t yet have the qualifications you need, check out our fast-track Access to HE courses, specifically designed to get you the skills and UCAS points you need.
Or if you’re a professional wanting to add to your skill set, our higher technical qualifications are a great choice. This course isn’t about theoretical learning, it’s about practical, hands-on experience to prepare you for the challenges of the real world healthcare sector. They are guided and underpinned by employer partners to ensure the course content directly aligns with what employers want.
“After meeting the friendly teachers and finding out that the course had a variety of different topics we can learn about – I instantly knew that Gateshead College was the right fit for me. I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to gain real world skills during my placement.”
Beth Young, Student
“From the start, the teachers have been friendly and supportive, helping us to do our best throughout the course. I’ve loved making new friends and being in a great location, with the Baltic campus being so close to the Quayside.”
