# 2 Achieving a certification will not help me find a job

• generate a 6% higher shareholder return when the training investment per employee increases by $ 680.

# 4 Training can not be digital

# 8 Microlearning is not effective for long-term training

Given the frenzy and the drop in attention that distinguishes our days, microlearning is particularly useful: small "pieces" of training easily digested (usually in video format) can not replace the long-term training in any case, in particular for technical topics, but have a valuable place in today's business education and are certainly in line with the fast-digitizing world.
The courses in microlearning:

• can be produced from 300% to 50% faster compared to traditional courses;
