A NEW training centre has opened in Kembrey Park in Swindon.
The learndirect centre, which is run by Acom Business Services, has a variety of online courses for those wanting to brush up on their skills.
It is the eighth learndirect centre in Swindon.
The new centre houses 12 computers and can train either individuals or groups of learners at any one time.
Speaking at the centre opening last week, Dereth Wood, head of learndirect South West, said: "It's great to have such an enthusiastic welcome from local businesses and I wish all the team and its future learners, every success.
As well as skills for the workplace the centre also has courses to improve employees' literacy and numeracy to help them get better jobs.
Paul Haynes, managing director of Acom Business Services the company running the new centre on behalf of learndirect said: "There is a huge demand for online learning courses as they allow learners to study at their own pace and to fit their courses around their busy working day."
