About the DLC
The Distance Learning Centre is part of DLCentre Limited, which offers a wide range of Environmental, Educational and IT Solutions.
The Distance Learning Centre was established in 1993, which makes it one of the longest established organisations of its kind. This level of experience has led to the DLC having a strong reputation for professionalism, reliability and quality. In 2003 the DLC expanded from simply offering a range of distance learning into DLCentre Limited an organisation also offering consultancy and other specialist services within the UK and across the European Union working in partnership with a number of other companies, public and private sector organisations. Details of some of this work can be found on our projects page.
DLCentre provides practical, cost-effective solutions based on a broad range of professional skills and experience in the fields of Environment, Education and Information Technology both from within its own team and from its associates.
DLCentre aims to facilitate strong partnerships with other businesses and organisations. Although based in the United Kingdom, its focus is very much international, particularly with respect to the development of environmentally sustainable practices, education and the use of Information Technology.
