ACCREDITED ONLINE LEARNING

eLearning company, PrimeLearning, on Wednesday, 23 February 2005, unveiled a new and highly affordable online training resource which is being rolled out across Ireland and the United Kingdom. Here2Learn.com will provide accredited adult training across hundreds of subject areas including IT Training, Stress Management, Financial Basics and Project Management. To date, eLearning was mainly available to those working in large companies. With Here2Learn.com, eLearning is available directly to consumers at the click of a mouse and at a fraction of the cost of evening courses.

Commenting, Terry O'Brien, CEO, said: "Here2Learn.com is not about technology or Web sites; it's all about getting the course to you directly when you want it. Our research indicates a gap in the adult learning market for those who do not have the time or resources to attend night school or whose employers have not subscribed to an online teaching resource. In addition, a complete, fully accredited Here2Learn.com course is an extremely cost-effective solution, making it easily affordable to both employers and independent learners.

"At Here2Learn.com, we aim to shake up the market by providing highly relevant and accredited learning that is accessible online at a time and price that suits customer needs. Our consumer offering has been developed very cost effectively by leveraging the content and resources developed by PrimeLearning over the past 6 years and making this available in a user-friendly format to individual consumers. In addition, one of the unique benefits of this training is that customers can access a Here2Learn.com mentor who will answer any questions regarding training" he added.

Consumers can earn a qualification such as ECDL in their own time, at home, at work or indeed on the move. The course is ideally suited to those returning to work, upskilling, or changing career path. To use the Web site, consumers simply browse through the courses on offer; make a selection by adding the course to their shopping basket and make a purchase using a credit or debit card.
