The National Extension College (NEC) was set up in 1963 as a not-for-profit organisation for distance learning for people of all ages. It was founded as a pilot study for the Open University.
The College provides over 60 online distance learning courses, making education more accessible to those who would be unable to study in a mainstream school/college.
The National Extension College was founded by Brian Jackson and Michael Young, Lord Young of Dartington, a British sociologist, social activist and politician.
A registered educational charity, the College works in partnership with organisations including The Open University, The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE), the Association for Art History, UnionLearn, The WEA, European Association for Distance Learning (EADL) and Big Issue.
