reed.co.uk Courses have helped meet the rising demand for online learning in 2020... and the best is still to come.

As more and more people have begun to work and learn from home, the online learning industry has been growing.

Most people know Reed for our job board reed.co.uk, or our Specialist Recruitment network; but did you know we are also home to one of the UK’s fastest growing platforms for educational courses?

Shifting Trends in Learning

Google Trends data showing an increase in demand for 'Reed Courses' over the last year

“Online learning has been extremely popular over the last few months, and we don’t expect this trend to stop anytime soon. Not only are customers likely to continue to choose this option, learning providers are expected to improve their online learning methods in order to meet demand. Additionally, higher-priced courses in the regulated and professional sector are popular at this time of year, as they’re perfect for school leavers who don’t want to go to university but are keen to keep learning.”

To date, Reed has provided a platform that connects learners with course providers… This is about to change (grow!) for the better.

Before the end of the year, reed.co.uk Courses will become a one-stop-shop for budding students to find their course, view and engage with it – right there and then on the site. An all-in-one digital learning platform.
