At National Learning Network (NLN), we offer a range of flexible training programmes and support services designed to help students succeed, forge friendships, develop confidence, and prepare for careers that suit them best.

We specialise in providing tailored support for individuals with mental health issues, autism, social anxiety, learning difficulties, and sensory, intellectual and physical disabilities.

NLN has over 50 training centres located in communities across Ireland. We cater to people aged 16 and over, many of whom have left school or college early, unsure of their next steps, who need support to explore their talents and strengths.

Our certified courses range from arts, sports, hospitality, business, to general employability skills. NLN instructors are experts in providing specialist training in a truly supportive learning environment. We offer both vocational and rehabilitative training to help students build new skills and improve their quality of life.

NLN offers small class sizes and a person-centred approach, tailored to each student’s pace and needs. We also offer access to psychological and advocacy support to help students achieve both personal and learning goals.

One of the benefits of an NLN course is the ability to begin a course anytime and to try out a course before committing. It’s that flexible approach that can make all the difference to a student deciding what their future holds.

NLN has built a network of business and industry partners, including local employers who offer students the opportunity to gain on-the-job training and work placements.
