Self-test: Is adult education really my vocation?

Not everyone is called to be a teacher. But many discover in the course of their professional career that they enjoy passing on their specialist knowledge, skills and perhaps also their experience to others. A good opportunity for this is to work as a practical trainer in a professional environment.

Anyone who has ever introduced new colleagues or mentored a trainee knows that the actual mentoring only accounts for part of the time and effort required as a practical trainer. There is a lot of conceptual, planning and preparatory work behind the explanations. Afterwards, for example, it is important to record the learning progress or conduct feedback discussions.
