Learn Local brand guidelines

Learn Local is about people empowering people

Victoria’s Learn Local sector comprises more than 240 community owned and managed not-for-profit organisations – known as Learn Local providers.

What is Learn Local

The Learn Local sector is an essential part of Victoria’s post-secondary education and training system. It plays a vital role in providing pathways for adult learners to transition to employment and further training.

The Victorian Government, through the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board, registers and funds these organisations so people can study and work in their local area.

Adults who want to develop their core skills for study, work or life can enrol in Learn Local courses throughout the year. These short courses are offered at low or no cost to eligible Victorians, range from literacy and numeracy to job related and digital skills and are delivered by experienced and dedicated trainers.

The Learn Local brand

Our brand reflects who we are, our aspirations and our values

Using the Learn Local brand consistently increases awareness and understanding of the value and breadth of our courses and programs. This will lead to more participation in Learn Local courses over time.
