Cosmetic and Aesthetic medicine, Hands-On Training -- August 02, 2023
The theory should also translate into practical! - A statement that holds to date. Unfortunately, that is not the ideal scenario in all organisations where learning does not translate into practice. E.g., a person who has read a sentence in his mind may mispronounce it while reading out loud; similarly, reading a topic does not necessarily mean that you will do justice to it practically. This is especially true in fields that require precision skills, like medicine, cosmetology, architecture, manufacturing, etc., and if mistakes are made here, it can lead to grievous consequences.
Therefore, hands-on training and theory classes must be provided to prevent these mistakes. Hands-on training while learning in a course gives the students the safety net to make errors while learning, rather than making mistakes on the job! Many corporates nowadays believe in providing hands-on training to their employees before they are assigned roles to perform their job better.

What is Hand-on Training?
There are many advantages of
Hands-On Training while learning at

- Improves Retention of Information- Retaining and remembering are difficult over a long time, and hands-on training has proven to be more effective in retaining information as it involves physiological and psychological aspects of learning. Hands-On- Training helps engage both sides of your brain- listening and analysis occur in the left hemisphere, while visual recognition is stronger in the right hemisphere. During hands-on training, the brain combines both learning styles and can store more information for longer.
- Improves your Attention Span- When you are being taught in a lecture, your attention span is mostly for about 20 minutes, and then you are doxing off. Hands-on- training rejuvenates the student’s learning process by making them move about. The blood starts pumping and circulating, and you are attentive as you practically perform the task.
- Encourages Working in a Team- We are all accustomed to working in silos, but hands-on training brings students with different mindsets and ideas into one group. In the hands-on training, the students are divided into groups and work together, enhancing their team-building skills. This also improves their technical and social skills. In a team, the student learns to work and handle a team. This is important in the student's career and job profile.
- Makes Learning Fun- During hands-on-training, the instructor/ teacher teaches the practical application of knowledge and while teaching, multiple small activities are given to students to perform to increase their participation. This makes learning fun when compared to sitting in a classroom and listening to lectures.
