Do you remember having a favorite teacher in school? Maybe they talked calmly, explained things well, or did practical, ‘hands-on’ lessons. Whatever they taught you, it seemed to stick. That could be because their teaching methods matched your learning style.

We all have different, preferred ways of learning, known as learning styles. They’ve been used for many years to help tailor learning to individual strengths.

You’re constantly learning, both at work and in life. Knowing how you learn can help you decide how to approach things like training and development. Recent research into how human brains learn, however, has shown that tailoring learning to individual strengths may not be the best approach. So, if you’re a trainer, it’s important to know how to get the balance right.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Understand what learning styles are
• Identify your learning style
• Understand the benefits and drawbacks of tailoring learning to fit a style

Why take this course?

Whether you’re an employee struggling to make new skills stick or a trainer wanting to refresh your style, this course will help. It will teach you about different learning styles and the range of theories for and against their use, how to identify your preferred learning style,
and how recognizing your favored way of learning can be useful.
