organisation with a class specifically
created for that one organisation.

same room. Some argue that being away
from the workplace allows more creativity
and free-flowing thinking, others prefer to
learn in their workplace where they can
bounce ideas around with colleagues as
they learn, which can further help enrich
the learning experience. With place-based
