Once you discover your learning style, here are some tailored tips to help you make the most out of your training sessions and apply what you’ve learned effectively:
If You Are a Visual Learner:
Use diagrams, charts, and visual aids to understand key concepts.
Highlight important information in your notes with colours or symbols.
Watch videos or animations to reinforce practical skills, like first aid techniques.
Sit in a position where you can clearly see presentations, slides, or demonstrations.
If You Are an Auditory Learner:
Engage in discussions or ask questions during training to clarify your understanding.
Listen to podcasts, recorded lectures, or verbal explanations to reinforce learning.
Use mnemonics, rhymes, or songs to remember key points, such as safeguarding procedures.
Explain concepts aloud to yourself or a colleague to solidify your understanding.
If You Are a Kinaesthetic Learner:
Practise hands-on activities, like CPR simulations or role-playing safeguarding scenarios.
Use physical actions, gestures, or tools while learning to connect movement with memory.
Take frequent breaks to move around and stay focused.
Try learning by doing—apply concepts in real-world situations as soon as possible.
Blended Learners: If you find that you have a mix of learning styles, combine these strategies to suit the situation. For example, you might watch a demonstration (visual), discuss it with a trainer (auditory), and then practise it yourself (kinaesthetic).
Remember: Tailoring your learning methods can boost your confidence, make training sessions more enjoyable, and ensure you’re fully prepared to use your new skills in the workplace. Let us know if you’d like any additional resources to support your learning journey!
