Access Keys
Access keys let you navigate around the Learning and Skills Network
website without using your mouse.
They can be used to jump directly to different sections of the website, trigger accessibility options (such as text size increase) or even jump to particular areas within a page, without having to move your mouse at all.
Our access keys are based on the recommended UK Government standard.
