Open learning offers access and choice to learners of any age and ability. Therefore, it is up to you when and how you learn. Most adult learners want the flexibility to be able to control their learning so as to cope with other demands in their lives. It also allows people to overcome traditional barriers to learning, such as people at home with small children or those who are in full-time paid employment.

Overall Open Learning with the National IT Learning Centre gives you, the learner, the freedom of choice.
