The work pace slows down during the summer in many workplaces while people are taking their summer holidays. In Finland, the main holiday months are June and July, while elsewhere in Europe it’s July and August. It’s a good idea to think which tasks the employees who stay in work during the summer months should focus on.
Summer time is the best time to focus on strengthening the skills of the employees, while the pace of work is perhaps a little calmer than during other seasons. Independent online training is becoming more and more popular and you can already study almost anything online. Studying at your own pace, exactly when it suits you is definitely a suitable option for everyone.
Flexibility and easy access are the biggest benefits of independent online learning. You can study on your smartphone, tablet or laptop as long as you have a good internet connection. Online learning is completely independent of time and place, you can study from anywhere in the world and at any time. Independent online learning is also effective, both in terms of cost and time. Even nature praises when the learning materials are in digital form without the need for printing.
Learning at your own pace online provides a great opportunity for different types of learners to absorb knowledge; one learns by reading, the other by listening, and the third by seeing. Modern learning platforms are interactive and allow for an inspiring and fun way to learn and absorb knowledge through a variety of tests and games. Most online courses offer a certificate to indicate that the training has been completed successfully.
As a pioneer, Checkfin has introduced the most common Finnish statutory obligations to be studied through independent online training. The range of trainings includes trainings related to the liability act as well as a training related to responsibilities in the construction operations. Most recently, we just released training on how to verify the right to work in Finland. We have taken different types of learners into account in the content of the trainings; the student may choose to read, listen to or view the material. Independent online learning is great for the summer’s to-do list!
