The idea is to make sure your learning is of a high standard and helps to fulfil your potential, take part in the Isle of Wight Learner Entitlement Online Survey
“We want to know if it is working. To help us to find out, we would like you to answer 36 simple but important questions.
To encourage as many students and trainees from the Isle of Wight to complete the questionnaire as possible, we are running a competition.
The prize will be £100 in vouchers for the shop of the winner’s choice. To enter the competition, we need your name, age and a telephone number upon which we definitely will be able to reach you”.

Adult Learners Week
Skills Minister Phil Hope said:
Adult Learners\’ Week has become the single biggest event in the adult learning calendar. Learning opens all sorts of new doors in people\’s lives. The week celebrates the success of the tens of thousands of adult learners across the country who have seized that opportunity to improve their lives, transform their careers and enjoy the benefits learning brings.
We want everyone, whatever their age or background, to have the opportunity to succeed through learning. We are transforming the culture of learning in this country and for many people the learning journey will start during Adult Learners\’ Week.
