With such an extensive user-base, WNL is able to achieve economies of scale.  WNL is offering the same low cost effective solution to other organisations.

Any eligible organisation may join for £800  per year plus VAT for the duration of the contract.  This entitles 50 employees to use all the facilities.  Extra user licences are available at £400 plus VAT, for each additional 25 users for every remaining year of the contract.  Users may be replaced on an annual basis.

 Discounts of 25% on the normal list prices for those wishing to take a separate contract out with SkillSoft owned courses.

Enrolled students in organisations connected to the JANET network can use the facilities. Please email elearning@wnl.net for further information including rates.

Extra titles can be purchased for £25 + VAT each and then everyone in the scheme can use them.
