    3 Stars Is Learndirect For You? 10/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Learn at your own pace, loads of courses.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to ask for help, not very personal.

    Learndirect is a very good learning centre. You can learn online and off. Learndirect can now offer more courses linking to recognised qualifications that go right the way up to degree level. One of the great things about Learndirect is that you can go at your own pace and leisure. I actually find this much more enjoyable than being tied down to a course that you have to do set hours for each week. Of course, there are down falls as there is with anything. You have to be very motivated because if not you will fall behind and not complete the course and one thing that I found with Learndirect ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Learning at your own speed and pace. Able to learn from anywhere- work/home

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I can't say that there are any!

    Being a recent university Law graduate, the last thing on my mind was to engage in yet another programme of study. With Learndirect, however, the learning experience was actually very enjoyable and extremely rewarding. Being unsure about my future career and my lack of computer skills, I decided to enrol onto a number of computing courses with Learndirect. I learnt how to design webs, use a number of computing applications and overall I gained the confidence to 'use a computer'. Learndirect offers a vast amount of courses/skills for people who want to gain more knowledge, or to simply ensure ... more
