The Trust is one of the UK’s leading authorities on experiential learning and on informal and work-based learning. Over 20 years it has developed a range of techniques by which

• People and groups can reflect on, and learn from, life’s experiences and by which past learning can be recognised and awarded credit, and
• which help and enable individuals to identify their learning needs, to pursue their learning plans and to gain the confidence needed to change their lives through formal and informal education.

The Trust’s approach is essentially practical, with a focus on answering the different needs of individuals, in individual ways. It is also concerned with the dissemination of new ideas and good practice, having a reputation for developing innovative approaches to the design of learning environments and on ways of removing the policy and organisational barriers to the recognition and crediting of all learners.

The Trust is a registered charity and we welcome donations to support our work.
