• Learning by doing the job on a regular basis was the favourite method – overall, 82% found this quite or very helpful.
• This was followed by being shown how to do things by others (62%), and watching and listening to others (56%).
• Just 54% felt that taking a course paid for by the employer or the worker was helpful, followed closely by reflecting on your own performance (53%).
• Reading books and manuals (39%), using trial and error (38%) and using the internet (29%) were the least favourite methods.
