Designed to recognise the achievements made by individuals and companies through their commitment to learning, these prestigious awards celebrate achievement and encourage others to participate in learning.

Do you know someone who has benefited from learning or helped others benefit? A colleague, teacher, lecturer or manager? Maybe they’ve overcome personal obstacles or had to balance working with learning? If they have achieved success or satisfaction through their commitment and determination to learning, we want to know about them, we want to reward them.

We’re also looking to recognise organisations, voluntary or profit making businesses actively investing in and promoting learning within their organisation. Maybe you work for one or manage one, maybe you’re a customer, either way, those companies that take the time and effort to help their staff improve their abilities or prospects, deserve recognition.

Awards are divided into the following areas and a number of awards will be made in each of these:

Individual, Family & Group Award

Teacher, Tutor & Volunteer Tutor Award

Organisation Award

Entry is free and easy. You have until March 31st 2005 to submit your nominations. There are cash prizes and certificates on offer and we’ll be holding an awards ceremony in May where winners and guests can celebrate their success together.

Don’t miss out, nominate your company, your tutor, your client, your Mum, anyone who you think proves the benefits of learning.
