IT industry news: Britain 'has biggest e-learning industry'

07:28 26th October 2011

Britain has the largest e-learning industry in the European Union, with more than 400 companies specialising in e-learning for the corporate learning market alone, according to David Patterson, director and consultant with e-learningcentre.co.uk.

"Usage levels amongst learners and organisations continue to move forward strongly. Indeed, e-learning is the only part of the corporate training market that is growing," he said.

The expert said the growth has happened "quietly" and "unnoticed" following the dot-com bubble burst 11 years ago and that the last ten years have seen a huge growth in e-learning. He said e-learning companies are being established in the UK on a regular basis.

His comments followed a report by Learning Light's, an industry research organisation, which predicted that corporate e-learning expenditure is growing at over six per cent every year while many developers of e-learning solutions have reported increase in sales of over 20 per cent per year.
