You’ve decided to invest in yourself, but studying can be a challenge, especially if you are trying to fit study around work, family and lifestyle. When deciding how to study, there are many options to choose; from short courses in the classroom or online to topic-specific webinars, podcasts, and much more.
Your learning success will be helped by selecting a teaching method based on your learning style. There are a number of different ways to learn so working out how you learn you can dramatically increase your learning success. Learning styles include:
