Valentine’s Day isn’t just about chocolates and flowers - it’s also a great time to reflect on how we give and receive love, including when it comes to learning!
At GLP Training, we know that everyone absorbs knowledge differently, just like we all have unique ways of expressing affection. That’s why we’re putting a fun spin on the classic five love languages and applying them to the way you learn.
So, what’s your Learning Love Language?
💬 Words of Affirmation → Feedback & Encouragement
If you thrive on positive reinforcement and constructive feedback, this might be your learning love language! You feel most motivated when trainers acknowledge your hard work, provide uplifting feedback, and encourage you to push yourself further.
💡 Tip: Keep a journal of positive feedback and achievements to boost your confidence. If you’re an apprenticeship tutor, take time to celebrate your learners’ wins!
🎁 Receiving Gifts → Learning Resources & Tools
Do you love when your training provider gives you extra resources, cheat sheets, or exclusive tools? Then this could be your learning love language! You appreciate tangible takeaways that help reinforce your knowledge, whether it’s a study guide, e-book, or premium software access.
💡 Tip: Ask your mentor or tutor about additional resources that can help enhance your learning experience.
⏳ Quality Time → 1-2-1 Coaching & Interactive Learning
You value focused learning time, whether it’s through mentoring, group discussions, or hands-on projects. Independent study is great, but you thrive when you get dedicated time with an instructor or peers to dive deeper into the material.
💡 Tip: Make the most of workshops, networking sessions, and feedback calls to maximise your learning experience.
🏆 Acts of Service → Support & Guidance
Do you feel most engaged when someone goes the extra mile to help you succeed? Whether it’s a mentor helping you refine your portfolio or a tutor checking in on your progress, you appreciate when people show support through actions, not just words.
💡 Tip: Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Your training provider is there to guide you every step of the way!
🤝 Physical Touch → Hands-On Learning
This one involves practical engagement! If you prefer learning by doing (whether it’s through interactive tasks, real-world projects, or role-playing scenarios) you might resonate with this learning style. Apprenticeships and workplace training are perfect for hands-on learners!
💡 Tip: Get involved in real-world projects, shadow experienced colleagues, and take on practical assignments to develop your skills.
