Free online elearning of good quality

I needed to update my skills on Microsoft Access and found www.alison.com provided an excellent elearning system. The quality of the course was good and it met my needs in that it was flexible in access, easy to use and I learnt lots of new things.

While I was about it, I went through the office safety and a number of other courses that they offer.

For staff who need some digital literacy updating then this is a really good place to start, and maybe even finish.
