§ Judy MallaberTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list the UK online centres in Amber Valley; and which centres provide access to LearnDirect courses. [136776]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeUK online centres provide people with access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). There are six UK online centres in Amber valley. These are as follows:
- Read On Write Away (a mobile bus taking ICT facilities to rural, socio-economically deprived areas of Derbyshire)
- The Bridge Centre, Langley Mill
- Ironville Training Centre, Ironville
- Alfreton Hall Adult Education Centre
- Groundworks toolbox (formerly the Amber Valley Environ Centre)
- Belper Adult Community Education Centre
Alfreton Hall Adult Education Centre is a learndirect centre in addition to being a UK online centre. Of the centres that do not offer learndirect courses themselves, the Bridge Centre, Ironville Training Centre, and Belper Adult Community Education Centre refer their learners on to a local learndirect centre. Read On Write Away is currently developing a referral system with the UK online Regional Manager at Ufi.
