Putting the fun back in to learning is a skill that candidates do not always appreciate during those hours sat in front of the computer. To most of us, learning a new skill, or taking a job focused training course is about as exciting as watching paint dry. In many cases there is a touch of annoyance at having to take part at all, if it’s a mandatory employer based course, a certain resistance to having to use valuable time that could be spent elsewhere. The point that the course will enhance particular parts of the job or makes it safer when you do it, do not always feature in the mind set. Some of the more modern education suppliers have taken this point on board and have designed their online courses and classroom work with more of an element of humour. This is usually the most successful approach after all, a happy student is a successful one!
