Being a midwife is a uniquely rewarding, empowering and important role. Yours is the first touch on the skin of a newborn baby. Your mix of personal and clinical care will have an impact that will last a lifetime.
But becoming a midwife isn’t easy.
For some, the application process seems too daunting to even begin. For others, their applications end in rejection, with no real explanation as to why. Women (and some men) who feel naturally drawn to this profession can find their hopes of a career in midwifery slipping through their fingers. It can feel like the opportunities are just out of reach or that chances have come too late.
We have designed a short and effective e-learning course to address these problems and give you the chance you need to become a midwife.
Are you:
Then this course is exactly what you need!
There are plenty of opportunities for you to achieve the career you were meant for, but it can be hard to find them without help. That’s what we are here to do.
Only you can decide how much help you need to get your application to train as a midwife accepted. But experience has taught us that the more help you can get in advance of applying, the better your chances of getting in will be.
There are other online courses available, but there’s one HUGE difference between us and them. Those courses might have an impressive list of modules covering everything from pre-eclampsia to suturing, infection control to the importance of breastfeeding…which they claim will fast-track you through your midwifery training.
The simple fact is that unless your UCAS form is selected, and unless you are able to demonstrate that you are the right sort of person with the right sort of aptitudes at your university selection day, NONE of that knowledge will matter! Everything you need to know about practicing midwifery will be covered on your degree course. There are no early short-cuts or fast-tracks through that. So taking the time and energy to learn all that information in advance just isn’t the best use of your time or money.
But right now what you do need to do is learn how to write an application which ‘sells’ you and provides real evidence which will inspire the university recruiters about who you are as an individual, and how you would benefit the profession if they choose you.
We can show you that it’s not too late and there are opportunities, you just need to be prepared to work for them!
You can have all the potential in the world but if you don’t know how to present yourself properly at interview you will never get the chance to show it.
We will help you prove you are exactly the sort of person the profession needs and that you can meet the challenges of the role far better than your competition. We know how to bring the very best out of you, so you can shine when it counts.

With midwifery being such a sought-after career, competition for places at university is very high. Many applicants are put off at the first hurdle and don’t complete their application; others have their applications rejected and can feel demoralised about what to do next. Even if you are lucky enough to be invited to a selection day the odds of gaining one of the few places on a university training course are stacked against you. The tests are tough and the assessors will only offer places to the very best candidates.
Our course is designed to help you overcome ALL these hurdles, preparing you to submit a top notch application, deliver an impressive selection day performance and be the sort of midwife you have always aspired to be.
This internet based course will guide you step by step through all the tips and know-how you need to sail through your midwifery application, all from the comfort of your computer.
You can complete the online course where and when you like, making it convenient and accessible no matter how busy your life is.
The course is divided into 8 manageable modules which you can work through at your own pace and pick up and pause to suit the time you have. Each module should take around 45 minutes to complete, creating the perfect learning environment whether you’ve been out of education for a while or keen to continue any recent learning.
Learning is made easy with interactive exercises, case studies, questions, real-life stories, fact sheets, interviews, exercises, examples, checklists and videos to keep you interested and motivated. There are fun quizzes and summaries to recap and check your knowledge as you go.
By taking action now, this time next year you could be training to be a midwife. But you have to start somewhere, and we’ve made sure this course is exactly that place”
We’ll provide opportunities for you to gain feedback on your progress throughout the course. Plus we show you how you can work with us one to one to review your university application form or interview answers if you need us to.
We’ve worked hard to make sure our online course will educate AND inspire you. We wanted to make sure you enjoy it, so that essential learning will seem easy and fun and you get the results you have been hoping for”
