Pledge to Learners

learndirect scotland is helping to create, support and sustain a lifelong learning network where learning providers will:

• Offer the time, pace and style of learning that most closely meets learners' needs
   
• Give clear information that helps learners make the best personal choices about learning programmes and maintain control of their learning
   
• Provide learning materials that are relevant to learners' own personal and work interests and actively involve learners in practical examples, exercises and experience
   
• Enable learners to monitor their progress and record their achievements as they go, not just at the end of a complete programme
   
• Provide learners with access to the specialist support they need, when they need it
   
• Work with learners to develop the skills that help them learn and stay in learning
   
• Give learners the chance to relate their learning to their longer term ambitions
   
• Help learners to feel part of a wider learning community and put learners in touch with other people studying the same things
   
• Link learning to key areas of the learner's life such as work, family, citizenship and their own personal development
   
• Encourage learners to value learning and see it add value to their life
