Learning at home or in a centre

Whether you're a busy parent or working full time, we know it can be difficult to fit learning into your life. At learndirect, we want your learning experience to be flexible. Some of our courses and qualifications give you the option to do your learning either at home or in one of our centres around the country. They're slightly different in pace and the kinds of support you'll get.

Learning in a centre with face-to-face support

Learning in one of our centres is a great way to learn in a relaxed and friendly environment with face to face support. The benefits of learning in one of our centres include:

• A range of qualifications like maths, English and IT
• Face to face tutor support
• Free access to a computer and the internet to do your learning
• Meeting other learners and making new friends
• Availability of work-based qualifications (such as NVQs), with the support of your employer
  

eCourses

Or, if you'd just like to buy a short online course and start learning from home today then an eCourse could be right for you. eCourses cover topics such as computers and software, health and safety, sales and marketing, languages and food hygiene.

All the support you need is built into the course so there's no tutor or visiting a centre. You can get started straight away and you'll have access to the course for six months. Find out more about eCourses to buy by visiting our eCourses catalogue.

Alternatively, you can enrol on a maths or English qualification from one of our centres where you get free access to a computer and the internet to do your learning. Find your nearest centre
