Since 2007, Advance Learning Interactive Systems Online (ALISON) has been offering a broad range of free online interactive multimedia skills training courses and tests across the UK, with a special emphasis on IT-literacy training.

The ALISON model provides students with free, high-quality online learning courseware and grants free access for teachers and tutors to a learning management system through ALISON Manager. This service allows students to learn at their own pace and in their own environment; the soaring numbers of learners is testament to the popularity of this mode of learning.

European e-Skills Week highlights the growing demand for skilled ICT users and professionals to drive a competitive and innovative Europe as the knowledge economy develops and evolves. The campaign seeks to inform students, young professionals, and SMEs about the vast range of opportunities that ICT-related jobs present across the European Union.

ALISON provides free online learning via interactive multimedia for basic workplace skills. With registered learners in every country and territory worldwide, ALISON free learning includes IT Skills, Health and Safety, Languages, Psychometric tests, and Financial and Health Literacy.
