Many businesses use Learn Now as part of their staff development. Others have found that an extra skill has helped them to change their career paths while many people use Learn Now just for their own interest.
C ____________________
There are over 400 courses to choose from, so there is something for everyone. The most popular courses are in computing and you can do any of these at any stage. Business courses are also very popular and there are some excellent ‘Skills for Life’ courses that help you improve your maths and communication skills. Remember you don’t need experience or knowledge for any of our courses. You can learn by distance learning at home or at work, or you can go to one of our Learning Centres. However, if you are very new to the Internet and computing, we do suggest you come to a centre where we can guide you along in person.

If you want to learn at one of our learning centres, we will ask you to come in for some training, and from then on you just book in whenever you want to. If you want to work only at home, or at the office, we can organize everything by telephone or e–mail.
