This email helpline is designed for anyone involved in the access arrangements process who has questions about any area of it and would like to ask the advice of a specialist.
Purchasing the email helpline below will give you 30 minutes of our advisor’s help via email, spread as you wish over the year. Our advisor will keep track of the time taken to answer queries and will advise you when this time has been used up. For those needing more than 30 minutes of queries answered in a year, we would recommend our 1:1 Mentoring.
The course tutors are Lia Castiglione and Caroline Read.
