It's online worksheets - what I have done is to copy and paste the blurb into a Word document so I can work on the modules which interested me at my leisure.

2good - I do know that some courses can be used in conjunction with Tesco vouchers, but the point is, if the information is free, why use up valuable Tesco vouchers which you could cash in elsewhere The infor in the 2nd link hex2 posted is completely FREEEEEEEEEE :j :j

The Open Univeristy announced a few months ago that it was going to provide free access to some of its older learning materials via http://www.open.ac.uk/openlearn/home.php

There wasn't a lot on it originally but now there are two main sections with a reasonable range of courses on. You don't get a certificate for completing them but there are some great resources, like a 300 hour course on change management. Not something you often find free access too! Business, education, history, languages, etc.

If you are a trainer or employer they are fine with you adapting the materials for your own purposes which is great if you are on a limited budget.

what a great find, our ambulance service is all going over to e-learning, for our (cpd), and the training dept will love this many thanks again.:T

Thanks! A friend told me about this site and thread - the OU have made some great stuff available. Can't believe it's free! I spent last night trying to understand latin :rotfl:
