The British Council Learning and Information Centre provides our members with a combination of knowledge resources and services unavailable anywhere else in Cameroon. Our resources are targeted to meet professional needs and enhance personal development.

The new Learning and Information Centre provides support for three groups of Cameroonians.

One set of services is aimed at professionals working in the areas of management, accountancy, banking and finance, marketing, human resources, education and governance.
A second set of services is for teachers and students of the English language.
The third set of services is for people interested in study in the UK and in taking UK examinations.

We hope that our collection of DVDs, videos, music CDs, life-style magazines and fiction will interest all our users in contemporary British culture.
We also hope that our collection of general reference materials is a useful feature for all our members.

Free Services
Access to most of the resources and services are through membership.  But even if you are not a member, you are welcome to look around and see what is available.

We offer free  counselling and advice if you are interested in study opportunities in the UK. This includes up-to-date guidance on subject, courses, application procedures, fees, funding and accommodation for people wanting to study in the UK.

We also give free advice if you are interested in taking any kind of UK examination.
