This paper investigates the effectiveness of Access programs validated by the London Open College Network (LOCN). It mainly focuses on measuring effectiveness across a range of subject areas for one cohort, using the traditional institutional measures of rates of successful completion and progression to HE [higher education]. The underlying aim, though, is to bring into question the continued use of these measures employed on an annual basis for adult learners. Finally the results are looked at in the light of recent calls for change to the Access scheme.
