The results of the survey will be available free of charge and sent to companies and professionals in the learning and development sector. They will also been published in e.learning age magazine.

People from training, eLearning, development, and technology companies are invited to take part in the survey. Everyone who does - providing they work in one of the qualifying industries - is entered into a free prize draw and can win a 32GB iPod Touch, worth £229.

Nick Bate, director at Blue Eskimo, says that last year - the first time the company ran the survey - it was a runaway success. "We had around 500 people respond", says Bate, "and we got some fantastic data as a result. It provides the kind of information that's hard to find: salaries, benefits packages, work/life balance, job satisfaction, and much, much more."

The survey is open now and will remain open until 11 December. The results will be published early in the New Year.
