What Our Learners Say

Our Learner Voice

At The Skills Network, we are passionate about helping learners to progress through distance learning. Feedback is an important way that we make sure learners are getting the most out of their qualification, whether this means improving their employment situation, gaining a promotion, progressing onto higher level qualifications or simply increasing their confidence and skillset.

Listening to feedback is embedded in our learner journey – all learners are sent a survey after enrolment, and then another after completing their course. We also carry out quarterly Learner Voice campaigns, in which we interview learner representatives from all different sectors, ages and backgrounds to collect their in-depth feedback on the courses they have completed. We use this feedback to continually improve our services, and shape the learner journey to ensure that each individual gets the most out of their experience.
