Our community is what makes us unique.

Whether it’s sharing their work with other members or shaping our next software upgrade our 6,000 strong community is the heart of Learning Pool.

Members use the community to ask for advice and ideas as well as share best practice and knowledge. 

People chat online via our lively forum and then in person at the networking events we host.



Here’s what some of our community members have said about us

“You have made a complicated technical task easy to understand and a lot of fun along the way. Your can do attitude and positive outlook has really helped to get me through – we have come such a long way.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Learning Pool to other customers. It’s evident that your team likes to push the boundaries and try new things – qualities I admire.”

Emma Bown, London Borough of Camden

“Subscribing to Learning Pool has allowed us to tap into a vast and diverse bank of knowledge and resources.  Without the support of Learning Pool we would not have been able to progress as much as we have done.”

Graeme Rawlings, London Borough of Waltham Forest

“Joining a national learning community really appealed to me.  Connecting and sharing experiences and knowledge with other public sector professionals is one way we can work together to reduce duplication of efforts and in turn help make efficiency savings.”

Gemma Stephenson, Cornwall Council

“Your willingness to accept the additional work and prepare the assignment for us was outstanding and demonstrates your commitment to both Learning Pool, customer service and of course Basildon.  I can’t praise you highly and thank you doesn’t seem to be enough to say!”

Christine Shakespeare, Basildon District Council

“The complete Learning Pool package is a fantastic deal – the DLE, courses, Authoring Tool, and the opportunity to share between authorities is unique.  We are delighted to be part of Learning Pool.”

Bill Heasman, Devon County Council
