Talk:Learndirect

This article was tagged for proposed deletion but I've undone that action. The editor who did so did not make much attempt to explain why they think the article is blatant advertising, and being located in the US is unlikely to understand the notability of learndirect. The article does however read somewhat strangely since the revisions by BladeBoy, so I'll try to improve it.

I work for Ufi - which operates learndirect in the UK - and there are some out of dates comments here, which I have not altered in the main article but do want to note here. They are: 1) the number of centres - currently (March 2010) around 600 which are open to the public and available for them to go and learn 2) number of learners is now approaching three million 3) the figure on completion, though correct at the time (in 04/05) is not now. The success rate now (March 2010) - which is calculated differently to how it was in 04/05 - is 83 per cent 4) it is right to say The Independent said Ufi was on a list of quangos which would be abolished. However, this leaves the distinct impression the organisation will be closing and that is not correct. The organisation has changed its governance arrangements and is now no longer a public body. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adebed (talk • contribs) 15:44, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Location of HQ

The location of the HQ was changed from Sheffield to Bournemouth in the infobox but there is no reference for this change and no text in the body of the article to detail the move. Keith D (talk) 23:06, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

After seeing that change I checked that the company website now gives a Bournemouth postal address and phone number. I suppose the change from Sheffield isn't notable enough to mention in the article. Wire723 (talk) 13:01, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Lowercase name

As explained in MOS:TM, Wikipedia articles should not use all lowercase names for organisations, even if the organisation themselves does – except in a single brief explanation of the organisation's own style (e.g. "Learndirect, styled as learndirect"). Therefore this article should use "Learndirect" with a conventional initial capital letter. Mauls (talk) 19:35, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
