Youtube learning

I sat through all 21 of a certain sparkys’ youtube videos on the 18th during the Christmas hols. Why? No life? Well actually I was interested in his delivery which seemed to go down well with many commentators. His pitch was clearly geared to the average spark and although I would contest some of his technical explanations, if the purpose was to assist guys with getting their head round the basics of 7671 then I think he has done a reasonably good job. All the videos are free so he is to be applauded for his altruism. Compare that to the cost of learning material from this blessed institution and my own dear accreditation body. Want to know more about SPDs? A snip at £285. What about a one day course on BS9999 at £425? Although that includes a buffet lunch! You could take three days off and be bored to death on one of my own 7671 courses for a mere £475 plus vat. Alternatively, keep your hard earned cash and indulge yourself in Youtube, you can always ask for clarification on this wonderful forum if you get stuck!

  • As Doctor Mike will appreciate, there is a skill in evaluating evidence - what is there about this piece (on YouTube or elsewhere) which makes me rely upon it? I suspect that (as with peer-reviewed journals) much of what is out there is unreliable.


    I might add that I present no reason why any of you should pay the least attention to anything which I write. ?
