Many companies rely only on online training. It helps understand basic rules, but real skills need physical, hands-on training. Online sessions rarely clear doubts or show real situations. I faced this myself at work. Do you think companies should balance online and practical training? Has online training ever fully prepared you? Especially for safety, machines, and complex tasks. What is your experience?

That would depend on the role and its responsibilities and how good the online training actually is. If you're talking about operating machinery, sure, there has to be some training that goes beyond a screen. If you're promoting someone in a bank, for instance, and they're competent in their current role, online training for a new role may be sufficient. Obviously, people become more adept with real world experience, but in some cases online training can get them up and running.

For me online traning worthfull and boring . Thanks for your experience

Online training has prepared me for exactly one thing: passing the quiz at the end of online training. Real work? Not even close. You always learn more on the job than you do through courses.

Downfall how ..?

My company has a training team for each department. The more entry level the more hands on. There are only concepts but 90% of it is hands on.

That’s really helpful for new employees

Hands on training far outweighs online training. It’s nearly impossible to remember everything without hands on training

Totally agree with you

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color?

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
