Forum for broader or life long learning?

We have a forum for Students but how about life long learning and funding?

    I've seen OU and related threads in the Student board, also training Qs can be posted in the employment board.

    There was a 'great free courses hunt' thread in one of those - hobby-type courses as well as IT, etc. Maybe you could resurrect that?

    Surely you are a student if you are studying at whatever age? :confused:
    Gone ... or have I?
  • @ plum pie

    Thanks for that - I am still familiarizing myself with the site so I have somehow overlooked the employment section.

    @ mrs pepperpot

    thanks - that could help one or two people greatly

    @dmg24

    tend to agree though when I posted I was thinking more along the lines of ILA and professional training so overlooked the employment forum.
    I would tend not to consider myself a student on such courses but I would be close to splitting hairs admittedly.

    Thanks people
