Most of the CWU's Learning Centre's are situated within your own workplace, or very close by and using this ‘in-house’ approach we can ensure that it is a place where you can come, at a time that is suitable for you in order to learn, this is done at your own pace, in a quiet, comfortable and supportive environment. We also have some community based learning centres where your family members can also get involved. We can also point you in the direction of e-learning activities if you cannot attend a learning centre or prefer the autonomy of being able to learn at home, check out e-learning for more details. Each learning centre has a range of training materials, such as CD ROM’s, books, videos, leisure activities and educational software are made available by an organisation, trade union or learning provider for its employees or, in the case of a College or University, its students. A Learning Centre also usually has a suite of computers or ‘workstations’ available, on which you can use technology based training materials. A Learning Centre provides a chance for you to improve a range of skills, such as basic maths and English, learning about computers and IT skills, we can even provide more leisure related courses such as digital photography, learning another language. The learning centre also provides an opportunity for to gain industry recognised qualifications so that you can improve your employment opportunities and develop your career. The learning centres are a long term commitment, Learning Centres are funded by the Department for Education and Skills via the Union Learning Fund, and are supported by the employer’s and the CWU, with courses provided by various Further Education providers. Our goal is to provide you with an environment that will facilitate a beneficial learning experience for you in a supportive, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where you can gain confidence in your own abilities.
