learndirect has been developed by Ufi (University for industry) with a remit from government to provide high quality post-16 learning which:

• Reaches those with few or no skills and qualifications who are unlikely to participate in traditional forms of learning;
• Equips people with the skills they need for employability, thereby strengthening the skills of the workforce and increasing productivity;
• Is delivered innovatively through the use of new technologies.

To achieve this, Ufi aims to inspire existing learners to develop their skills further, win over new and excluded learners and transform the accessibility of learning in everyday life and work.

learndirect operates a network of more than 2,000 online learning centres in England , Wales and Northern Ireland providing access to a range of e-learning opportunities. learndirect's flexible learning is available to individual adults wanting to improve existing skills or to learn new ones, and to employers looking for an innovative way to develop the skills of their workforce. Since its launch in 2000 1.3 million learners have enrolled on almost three million learndirect courses. learndirect offers more than 550 different courses covering a range of subjects, including management, IT, Skills for Life and languages, at all levels. More than three quarters of the courses are available online allowing people to learn wherever they have access to the internet - at home, at work or at our centres in York or Acomb.
