Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding.

“Learned an enormous amount in three days! It is an 'unusual' way of learning because you also work a great deal in your own book with your own assignments. But the advantage is that you carry out all the actions yourself (and therefore pick things up better), and you can work at your own pace. Because I already had a little experience with the program, I was able to go through some things quickly.”
