Why we exist

We live and breathe life long learning. Our purpose is to create a community where we can all learn and grow together!

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) and exist solely to support you as a learning professional – so whether you are a seasoned professional or have just entered the field, the Learning Network exists to help you no matter what stage of your career you’re in.

We like to think we have something for everyone – our community includes instructional designers, trainers, developers, technologists, consultants, strategists, freelancers and industry leaders.

Our promise

We’re here to:

Help you maximise your impact by demystifying some of learning’s biggest challenges
Inspire and support you with valuable resources, insights and events
Provide a safe space to network, collaborate and share as part of our growing community
Develop the next generation of leaders in learning through our mentorship programme
Recognise and promote excellence and innovation in learning (we independently judge the Learning Technologies Awards!)
