Our approach
Learning and memory are closely related. Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills, while memory is the expression of what you’ve acquired. Another difference is the speed with which the two things happen. If you acquire the new knowledge or skill slowly and steadily, that’s learning. If acquisition occurs instantly, that’s making a memory.
On that basis, we develop learning to suit almost all individual styles, including learning styles, VARK styl;es and experiential learning. We agree critical learning aims and then how we can measure effectiveness of learning. Once done, we then discuss and develop the best suited learning options based on learners, locations, capability and of course, budget.
