The Learning Station, distance-learning across the UK

When was your centre founded? How did the idea of creating a training centre come up?
The company was established in March 2007 and the idea of creating a training centre started after being inspired to help social care and adult support workers progress further in their industry. We have since branched out and now deliver courses in various industries and educational areas.

Where is it located? Why did you choose that location?
We are located in Harringay, London on a bustling street called Green Lanes. We chose this location as it is easily accessible to students who come to our centre for exams or in-house training. There are several train stations close-by and easy parking. However, most of our courses are purely distance-learning, online, so many of our students are dotted around the United Kingdom as they will never have to travel out to us.

What kind of courses do you offer? What is your ideal student profile?
Our vocational RQF/QCF courses are fully accredited and Ofqual regulated. We offer courses from Level 1 to Level 5 in Customer Services, Business Administration, Health and Social Care, Childcare, Early Years, Construction Skills, GCSE Equivalent Functional Skills, Health and Safety, Assessing, Training and Education, and more.

What teaching methodologies do you use? Why did you choose them?
We offer online, distance-learning, classroom and blended courses so students may come to our centre or work from home. Depending what course the student enrols onto, it may be delivered online or in a classroom. Students will have their own assessor to support them during their learning.

Are your courses more theoretical or practical?
Each course is different and they may involve coursework, examinations, observations and delivering presentations.

What type of qualification do your students receive once they complete their training?
Students will achieve a fully accredited and nationally recognised qualification award, certificate or a diploma which will be processed by a United Kingdom awarding body.

What kind of jobs can your students choose at the end of the course?
Students will be able to progress further in their career (such as Construction, Childcare, Health and Social Care, Training and Assessing) or become qualified to enrol for the university with Functional Skills.

What do you think about education nowadays? How has it changed since last century?
