We’re transitioning away from the SU Learn platform to a dedicated NUS Charity YouTube channel.
This move will provide a smoother and more user-friendly experience for members. You’ll be able to access content effortlessly on a well known platform with no need to create a learner account. The channel will host a library of content organised into the different themes of Quality Students’ Unions, making it simple to find what you need, when you need it.
The SU Learn site will be live until Friday 14 February 2025 and we encourage you to create a user account and complete your learning on the site before this date to ensure you don’t lose any of your progress!
The NUS Charity YouTube channel is live now (https://www.nusconnect.org.uk/learning-development/nus-charity-development-webinars) - explore the content today!
Any questions please reach out to the team learningdevelopment@nus.org.uk
Welcome to SU Learn
The virtual learning platform for SUs
We're excited to launch our online learning platform SU Learn! It provides a space for virtual learning for SU/SA staff and officers.
This online learning hub for the student movement contains bespoke content curated specifically for students' union/association professionals, elected officers and volunteers.
We encourage you to use your ‘learner’ profile and access learning through the site during our pilot of this platform.
To allow other learners to make use of the site, we may ‘de-activate’ your account if you are not using it. This doesn’t meant your account is deleted, it just means we’ve put a hold on you being able to use your account to allow others to learn.
If you wish to re-activate your account to undertake some learning, email our team on learningdevelopment@nus.org.uk
