ABSTRACT
Corporate learning centres play a prominent role in the delivery of high-quality training programmes within many companies. The success or failure of a corporate learning centre depends very much on the calibre, commitment and dedication of the co-ordinator and local management. Co-ordinators need excellent customer relations and information technology skills, while managers need to have a special interest in educational technology, marketing and learning and the training and development of staff. Functionally, the corporate learning centres could be part of Training and Development or under the control of the local personnel manager or line manager. If the company has a corporate library, may be the library might be the best place to site the learning centre, as it is a complementary service. However, its location and management can depend on the particular culture and circumstances of the company.
