"As an NICEIC, self-employed electrician, I think Learning Lounge is an excellent learning experience and everyone should be using it, it is fantastic."

"Previously I had been using non approved sources to gather information and provide training to my staff like You Tube. Learning Lounge is an up to date well organised site allowing me to provide structured training to my staff and a wide range of topics like Health & Safety along with electrical courses. As they had individual IDs I can track when they have completed the modules. It is important that the site remains current, and so recently there was a new edition of the electrical regulations, quickly they provided a summary update followed by an in depth course. A couple of times I have needed to call in for assistance and have found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable."

"The learning lounge has been an excellent resource it is related positively with the curriculum and I use it extensively in my presentations. The students like the learning lounge and many set up student accounts, feedback has been good and we have found that students who have used it attain better scores in exams and a better understanding and retention of subject matter. As a seasoned lecturer I would highly recommend the learning lounge to both tutors and students alike it does produce the required positive outcome. I am sure you will continue the good work."

For us a business it provides valuable teaching that doesn’t take our people off the job for extended amounts of time and is incredibly cheap! We use the e-learning to provide and prove competence. 5 stars!"

"I would like to tell you how much I am enjoying using the learning lounge.At the college we had some of the older videos and the quality was deteriorating. Viewing the learning lounge is a learning experience for the lecturer as well as the students and I like that environment in the classroom where we are all learners! Using the Learning Lounge as a teaching resource, anything visual or practical will enhance the learning experience in the classroom and as a learning resource I feel students learn best when they take control of their own learning and the Learning Lounge accommodates both Facilitator and Learner."
