• Supervised training while actually doing a job (i.e., when a manager or
experienced colleague has spent time helping a person learn or develop skills as
specific tasks are done at work),

without taking part in a taught course,

• Deliberately trying to improve knowledge about anything or teach yourself a
skill without taking part in a taught course.
