Why choose us?

learndirect is one of the best known brands in the adult learning market. eCourses enable our partners to expand their provision and to respond to the increasing demand for cost effective e-learning.

A major benefit of eCourses is the opportunity to order courses any combination or quantity, so you don't need to buy expensive annual licenses for specific courses. This makes it ideal for building custom training solutions for your clients whilst paying only for the number of courses required.

eCourses can be sold in the UK market to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) - organisations employing less than 250 employees.

Language courses

Languages screenshotWith over 100 languages, our beginners' language courses offer a simple-to-use way of learning that gets straight to the point. Even useful for non-English speakers, you can set the course "help and support" to any of over 100 other languages. Making learning effective and memorable, the courses work by engaging both the left and right sides of your brain - the logical side and the creative side, and combining visual and verbal information to improve memory and recall.
