learndirect is the public-facing brand of Ufi Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation created in 1998 to take forward the UK Government's stated vision of a University for Industry in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
learndirect Scotland is, similarly, the public-facing brand of the Scottish University for Industry (SUfI).
Learndirect has more than 800 online learning centres in England and Wales and since 2000 more than two million learners have enrolled on courses.[1] Only 65% of students complete their courses.[2] The House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts undertook a review of the program in 2005-2006, it found that it had received a total of £930 million in public funding and was critical of the poor involvement of businesses, the high cost of marketing, and the low number of learners recorded as meeting their training objectives.[3]
