Your Local Learning Centre
At the Heart of Your Community


What’s it all about?

We are trying to find out why there aren’t more people who use learning centres. What is it they don’t like about it? Do they know about it at all? How did they find out about it? And what barriers did they have to overcome? Were there practical problems such as childcare or transport? Were there feelings that this just wasn’t for them? Or are people immediately happy with it when they find out about it? The results from this survey will be fed to the Scottish Executive to ask for further support of learning centres. This means that your voice can directly influence policies!

Please note that this survey is only for small and medium businesses.

If you have any queries about the survey please contact: Tomas Nilsson
