This is really for anyone who's wife is a midwife or knows one.
My wife, who will be 30 when we move back from the states, is starting to get itchy feet now that the youngest of our four kids are starting school, and is trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. The main thing she wants to do is become a midwife based in the Stoke-on-Trent area, as this is where our family are and where we want to settle down ourselves in the next few years.
Now looking at the Keele University info on the course, they are talking about having 5 GCSE's and 3 A-Levels in order to apply. Unfortunatly, my wife does not have that many GCSE's and no A-Levels.
My question really is, is anyone married to a midwife or knows of one, who trained late and was accepted because of their life experience (4 kids in our case) rather than their qualifications from nearly 15 years ago?
Also, if my wife does need to retake any GCSE's etc or pay for the Midwifery course, are spouses entitled to any financial assistance due to me being in the RAF? (advanced learning credits perhaps?)
Cheers
