“learndirect has played a key role in supporting employers to develop the skills of their workforce by providing more flexible methods for people to train and has provided vital support in the community to help unemployed people to develop the skills needed to get and retain a job.”
Chris Humphries CBE, former CEO of the UK Commission for Employment and SkillsHow do I know which qualification or course is right for me?
Before you enrol with us, we’ll check which type and level of qualification you should be working towards. We’ll also check what qualifications and skills you already have, so we can put together the right mix of learning for you. This means you only do the courses you need to – so you don’t have to learn what you already know.
What our learners say…
Catherine, 54, is a health care assistant working within the NHS. She had a self-confessed fear of English. “It shocked me how much I managed to learn. I couldn’t even fill in a form before, I’ve come such a long way.”
Unemployed single mum Michelle came to learndirect to gain a maths qualification. “It’s really difficult being out of work but it’s great being back in a routine and being able to provide a better quality of life for my children.”
Sharon, 56, Swindon “I’ve met many different people from all abilities, and have learnt a lot of personal skills. I found my experience very uplifting as everyone is treated equally and without judgement. I would recommend learndirect to anyone as it is the best learning experience I have tried.”
