Following a Testing training course - Digital or classroom?
If you want to take a testing training course like TMAP Suite or TPI Next, there are several options. For example, you can take a course digitally or in a classroom. But how do you make the choice that suits you? In this blog you will read the pros and cons about it.
Taking a test training course
Taking a test training course always comes up at some stage of your career. Perhaps you are planning to start your career as a tester or perhaps you are retraining yourself. Depending on your situation, you may want to consider whether to take the course digitally or in a classroom setting. This is because you will have to absorb some learning material before you take the exam. A good choice and preparation is therefore essential.
Follow a test training classically
Everyone is familiar with classroom classes; in our elementary, middle and high school years we all had to deal with them. Taking classes in a classroom setting has several advantages:
Fixed time
The great advantage of classroom training is that you have one central time where you can pay attention to the class. This ensures that you have the space blocked out in your schedule, so no other activities are scheduled over it. This ensures that you continue to develop your knowledge steadily.
Group Sense
There is also a certain group feeling in classroom teaching. The students with whom you take the lessons, you get to be with throughout the learning process. In addition to this group feeling, you can ask questions about, for example, the theory or the exam moments. This can ensure that you are extra motivated to complete the course successfully! The opposite can also be true. Maybe you get demotivated by all those students who always keep up their work so neatly.
Taking a digital test training course
The global pandemic has accelerated digitalization. Nevertheless, you could already take Testlearning TMAP & TPI training courses for a number of years. In practice, we see that our trainees experience a number of advantages over classroom training. These advantages are as follows:
Flexibility in terms of time and device
The advantage of a digital learning environment is flexibility. For example, you can follow the lessons at your pace. Some people prefer to learn in the morning, while others, due to a busy family life, tend to take the course at the weekend. Moreover, you follow a digital training on a tablet, mobile or laptop, for example. So it doesn't matter if you're on the train or in your study.
Concentration
When taking an elearning, you are able to filter out all distractions. You will find that you may be able to concentrate on the material better than when you are in a crowded classroom. So you will be able to learn more efficiently in a shorter time.
Digital questioning
Another advantage is the ability to ask questions. For example, on the e-learning platform you can ask questions directly to your instructor. This ensures that you can receive a very specific response and you can then get to work with this information.
