Role Focused Training Stays With You For Life
Many of the online courses I took during my years as a civil servant were mainly based around cyber security, general security – how to risk assess members of the public as a safety hazard in a public building. Also I took several anti-fraud courses – I personally found these much very interesting. The examples they used were exactly the sort of things that crop up in every day situations. The strong message I absorbed throughout these courses has stuck with me even – I was never comfortable with people brazenly breaking rules and flouting the law. Checking that all trades people issue me with invoices and refusing to pay anyone ‘under the counter’ i.e. allowing them to avoid putting the job through their books and thus not declaring the tax. Someone’s got to pay tax – who’s going to pay my pension if the Treasury runs dry?! All this from role focused online training.
