www.learndirectscotland.com The Scottish Government would like everyone to be able to carry on learning right throughout their life - whether it's to get a job, improve existing skills or just to find out about something because it's interesting. At learndirect scotland we help to do this by showing people, like you, how, where and when you can learn in the way that suits you best. We encourage people from disadvantaged backgrounds or those who, for whatever reason, have lost their confidence in education to find a way back into learning. We can help you develop your knowledge and abilities or extend your work-related skills. Aberdeen University - Centre for Lifelong Learning
