UCAS points

What can I do to get 40 more UCAS points in about a year or less and still stay employed.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you can do as its been over 7 years since I last dealt with anything UCAS. Is there a night course you can do that will give you the extra UCAS points?

The UCAS page has a list of what counts towards points.

Thank you for your responses.
Yeah I've looked. It's quite hard to do many things and stay in employment. Normally an access course into nursing would be ideal but can't. I've just paid to a distant learning course for another as level. Going to sit my first exam in May. Eek! It's a rip of though £150 for one unit because I'm late.

That sucks. Have you spoken to the uni you want to go to? They can sometimes be leniant with points if you have real world experience etc.

I was looking into secondment via work. I'm a healthcare assistant on a mh ward. And they require you to have the points. One uni said do credits with the ou and stuff and the other uni said they wouldn't accept it. So stuck doing an as.

Another issue is I'm verbally dyspraxic and have an educational psychologist report to support it but the college I was going to do the exam with have said they need the assessor who assessed my dyspraxia to sign a form. Which is compacted as I was living abroad at the time. I don't know what to do.
