Do you find it difficult to attend College because of other commitments such as work or family?

Learndirect offers a flexible way of learning. With Learndirect you can study when you want – at home, at work or at your local Learndirect Centre.

There are over 800 Learndirect courses available, which you study using computers and the internet. These courses take anything from 15 minutes to a few hours to complete. They are broken into bite-size chunks so you can dip in and out of them whenever you like. You can also start a Learndirect course at any time during the year. Some people study one before starting a College course to update their skills and prepare them for their chosen course.

Barry College has a purpose built Learndirect Centre. You can go there to chat to one of our helpful staff about a course, or use the computers to work on. Even though you choose when to learn there is always help on hand. You can chat to our Centre staff about any queries, or there is a 24-hour helpline.
