Figure 2 Zin Min Thant

Zin Min Thant has become much more aware of what the internet has to offer and is reasonably comfortable with email. As a businessman he already did his banking online, and some recruitment, but he has now joined a special interest group of engineering trainers and is regularly posting the site. This has made it easier to receive industry news and share good practice. His background is in engineering before he became a businessman.

When presented with the variety of tools and apps available online Zin Min Thant was amazed to find out that there were a number that could help him save time in certain situations. For example, using his phone to view his Facebook page saves powering up his computer all the time. He’s also thrilled with bookmarking sites that allow him to track and manage the information he finds online. This makes it much quicker to find things again when he needs them.

Zin Min Thant is very keen to find courses and free learning that would help him to learn the skills he needs to become a trainer within the field of railway engineering. The internet has proved to be a treasure trove in this respect. Through taking this online course he has learnt how to search the internet more effectively and he now feels confident at being able to filter his searches to find more specific courses and resources.
