How do UK online centres relate to learndirect?

UK online centres will act as stepping stones to learndirect provision by providing basic ICT skills, confidence and motivation to progress to further learning. UK online centres are for people who have low or no access to or skills in using new technologies. The centres will help people to develop the skills to use the Internet to access information, send email using a PC, mobile phone, digital television or games console, and explore the opportunities that new technologies offer such as for further learning and updating skills.

Learndirect is aimed at all adults - whether they are in work, seeking work, considering returning to work or retired. They provide a much wider range of skills provision, spanning a wider range of levels, within an integrated, supported end-to-end on-line learning environment. They will operate under the national learndirect brand which will guarantee that learners will be able to pursue their learning at any learndirect centre, or from work or home, and receive the same level of support (either face-to-face or on-line) in any one learndirect centre as in any other.
