Specialised Diplomas...what are those?!

Thank you for visiting the CLE website

Karen Stansfield Executive Officer Thank you for logging onto the Centre for Learning Excellence website. I hope you will have noticed that the site is undergoing updating and redevelopment - if what you're looking for isn't where you expected to find it, please bear with us. If you have any suggestions or special requests for the site, please email my colleague, Clare Hargate, via the 'contact us' page.

What's new? I once read a piece of research about web behaviour - sincere apologies to the academic researcher, although I can't remember the person's name, I'll never forget the subject: "Hunting, grazing and browsing". I know that while on the Internet, I certainly do all of this and in talking to friends and colleagues, so do they. Our updated CLE website aims to be a 'one-stop shop' to save you the time of searching and meandering through numerous links to get to the relevant national, regional or local document. Wherever you work, please look at the 'Work-based Learning Providers' page (the link/name will soon change) and one click should, we hope, take you to the site for your personal, professional needs. If not, or if you have any suggestions for further links, please contact us.

I am interested in how CLE site members want to use the forum pages. If you don't use them you will definitely lose them (we need the space!). Let Clare know your thoughts.

Karen Stansfield
Executive Officer
