No Excuses: You Must Be Data-Driven

The new LERN Dashboard has changed the field of lifelong learning and continuing education forever.  You must be data-driven now. For the first time ever, your program has No-Excuses.

You now have the numbers, the averages, the benchmarks for what your program can achieve. You can see what the Top 25% of programs in your institutional setting, and your size of community, are doing. In a survey this year, most programs said that a program can reach the Income and Registrations of the Top 25%.

The FREE Dashboard is available to all lifelong learning and continuing education programs in Recreation Departments; Community Education in Public Schools; Community Colleges; and Universities.

Exact numbers not needed. Submit these figures by range:

1.Registrations
2.Income
3.Income Compared to last Year
4.Cancellation Rate
5.Marketing Expenses
6.Size of Community Served

In 2025 you will also be asked for Instructor Costs as a percentage of Income.

Again, the service is also FREE and available to non-members of LERN.

Click here to get your personal Dashboard with comparisons to the Top 25% and LERN Ideal, if applicable.
