ADULTS keen to learn and gain more qualifications have taken full advantage of the new mobile learning units launched in Wiltshire.
In the first three months, the units launched by the Lifelong Learning Partnership and the Learning and Skills Council, and run by the Wiltshire and Salisbury colleges, have attracted nearly 200 students.
Norman Atkin, the director of the partnership, said: "The Mobile Learning Units were designed to take learning opportunities out to communities and individuals who are not normally able to attend traditional places of learning.
"We are absolutely delighted with the positive response and that many more people are now able to access life-enhancing learning opportunities."
Students enrol for a variety of reasons, many wanting to get back to work or to learn computer skills to help in running a business or simply just to do something new. The units have been to Bradford on Avon and Holt and more locations are planned in the future.
