Learners can start from Entry Level 3 and progress to Level 1 then receive all the information needed to keep on learning through Learndirect and the Open University.

This is a slideshare version of a cheat sheet originally created by DK (then of mediasnakers) that he introduced at the DIW 2010 conference in Swansea last year . It's based on the book "Rework" by http://37signals.com/. I think it's inspirational, what do you think?
