The 2009 report's principal finding is that the annual size of the UK eLearning industry in 2009 was between £300m and £450m; with growth rates forecast of between 6.7% and 8%. The figures from that report - 'The UK eLearning market 2009', available as a free download - are being updated to reflect industry trends throughout 2010.

Learning Light's David Patterson said: "The Learning Light Report on the eLearning industry is not just the most comprehensive assessment of the UK's corporate eLearning sector, it is the only such report that has reliable, comparable figures for the industry over the last three years. As such, these series of Learning Light Reports make essential reading for all eLearning market analysts and commentators as well as would-be successful entrepreneurs in this sector."

Learning Light is, as yet, the only UK-based organisation to be brave enough to attempt to nail, to the wall of hard facts and figures, the corporate jelly that is the eLearning sector. Importantly, the 2010 report will be the third such report which uses the same criteria - so, regardless of the actual volumes and value of work, there will be some meaningful moving averages and similar measures for comparing corporate eLearning activity from 2007 to 2010.

Anyone who wants to help identify the size and shape of the corporate eLearning industry in the UK - or, perhaps less altruistically, anyone who wants their eLearning organisation to feature in this report - should get in touch with David Patterson (+44 (0)114 223 2442 and/or David Patterson at Learning Light as soon as possible.
