In today’s electronic world, online training is now one of the more popular forms of learning. It’s easy to follow, most online training courses give step by step guides and the training is normally slit down into chapters, with lessons within each chapter. You can stop and start the training at you own leisure without having to sit through a 2 hour lecture.

Geographical distance is a major factor these days with learning. Once upon a time you would either have to look for your chosen course at a college on University near to you or be prepared to travel away from home. Now, you can learn from the comfort of your own home, in your own time and at a pace that suits you. And your instructor can be anywhere in the world, it makes no difference. Provided you have an internet connection, the world is your oyster.

Many companies provide online training these days. In fact, whatever your chosen field of study you would struggle not to find an online course to suit your needs. And the benefits of online training are evident to both student and instructor.

For companies that provide online training, it is easy for them to keep track of their student’s progress. Any tests that are taken can be marked and the results back in a much shorter time frame than a hand written test. This gives both the student and the instructor the ability to keep track of progress much easier and any problems can be picked up on and rectified in a shorter timescale.

For those who want to turn their web content into an online training course there is plenty of software available. Learning management systems are available for purchase that can make the whole process much easier. Your online training course can be created very quickly and almost at the touch of a button.

Providing online training is as easy as picking up the phone these days. Provided you have access to certain authoring tools you can easily turn your web content into a training course. You should have access to tools such as MS Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, any PDF generation programme and, if you require it, video content software. Any combination of these together with the software to pull it all together makes it easy to provide online training.

Video training is one of the more popular forms of training these days. You can produce your videos using any number of methods including camcorders and even phone videos. Along with pdf or word documents you can create an online training course made up of a combination of videos and presentations, and throw in a few tests along the way as well.

Purchasing a complete learning management system to provide your online training course will make the whole task easier and is much cost and time effective than trying to pull it altogether yourself. Whilst the initial cost may seem steep, the time and effort saved is worth its weight in gold alone.

Condado De Alhama Golf Resort

by

David Craythorne

For some of the finest golf courses in Europe, and one of the best climates in the world, there really is only one location to buy a Polaris World golf property and that’s Murcia, Spain. And if you’re choosing a golf resort here why not opt for the largest resort so far at Condado de Alhama. At 9 million square metres this resort is larger than the other Polaris World golf resorts put together and once complete will possess three Jack Nicklaus designed golf courses. There is no better time to have a look at what this resort has to offer as a new town centre was finished in July 2009 adding more first rate facilities to what is already one of the best resorts in the world.

Condado de Alhama Golf Resort

The Polaris World Condado de Alhama golf resort is in the Valle del Guadalentn area of Murcia, Spain. Situated in the foothills of Sierra Espuna and Carrascoy-El Valle, two regional nature reserves, the resort is divided into three areas: Los Jardines de Alhama, Los Naranjos de Alhama and La Isla del Condado.

Los Jardines de Alhama

Translated this means ‘The Gardens of Alhama’ and the area, as you would suppose, is spacious and green with properties built around landscaped gardens and swimming pools. The Los Jardines development is pedestrianised with dedicated cycle lanes enabling residents to walk or cycle around the parks and enjoy the extensive variety of plant life. Los Jardines de Alhama is very family friendly with its separate play areas for children and it also has first-rate sports facilities including tennis courts, football pitches and basketball courts. The properties are built in a traditional Mediterranean style with architecture that blends in effortlessly with the manicured surroundings.

Los Naranjos de Alhama

‘Naranjos’ is the name given to a native orange tree of the region and this area of Condado de Alhama is lined with the attractive tree on its streets, within its gardens and around its squares. Los Naranjos is in the heart of the golf resort and once had its own town centre called El Agora. This town centre has been extended to include the new resort town centre called El Foro providing an even bigger collection of facilities just a short walk away along the leafy avenues. Properties in Los Naranjos have a stepped architectural design and the penthouses look out onto the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course (under construction – due for completion in December 2009).

La Isla del Condado

Condado de Alhama translated means ‘Alhama County’ which is where the resort is situated in Murcia. La Isla del Condado means ‘The Island of the County’ and this area is an apartment complex on an island on the lake in the centre of the golf resort. La Isla is a waterfront setting that stretches down to the main town centre of El Foro. Residents benefit from stunning views from their apartments across the lake as well as three infinity pools that give the impression of being part of the lake itself. La Isla has tranquil boulevards and green spaces that incorporate children’s play areas. Around the lake are several piers from which a ferry service runs to the town centre.

El Foro & El Oasis Town Centre

The focus of activity at the Condado de Alhama golf resort is within the El Foro and El Oasis town centres. El Foro means ‘The Forum’ and this vast 12,000 square metre complex includes the relocated El Agora town centre which initially served the Los Naranjos complex. Designed in a Hispanic-Arabic style around a courtyard with a large central water feature, the El Foro town centre is due to open this month (July 2009) and along with the 60,000 square metre El Oasis town centre provides bars, restaurants, banks, stores, supermarkets, hairdressers, launderettes, pharmacies, restaurants, cinemas and healthcare services to residents.

Becoming an orthopedist, or an orthopedic surgeon, is a rigorous procedure that takes in all around 14 years of hard study. This includes beginning with four years of undergraduate study that should include two years of chemistry, a year of biology, and a year of physics – courses typically offered as part of a B.S. (Bachelor of Science) program at practically any accredited college or university.

Having completed this, a future orthopedist must then take an admission test for a Medical College, which takes about one day. Passing this test requires sufficient knowledge in the areas of biology and physics, and includes both written and verbal sections. Following that, the student must apply for admission to a Medical College. Because of their highly competitive nature – many schools only admit 5 to 10 percent of applicants – the admissions process generally has a preliminary round and a secondary round, followed by an interview of the candidate.

Medical School itself requires four years of study – the first two of these in the classroom, and the last two in-hospital training. During this time, he or she takes National Board Examinations – one upon completing the second year, and one upon completion of the third year; each examination involves an entire day of rigorous testing of medical knowledge. Upon graduation, the student receives his or her MD degree, or better still, a D.O. degree specifically in Osteopathic medicine. Then the following fall, the would-be orthopedist submits his or her application for Orthopedics Residency.

Successful applications result in an interview of the candidate being scheduled that winter. All medical students learn the results of their applications for residency on the same big day, called Match Day. Residency begins with a preliminary year of internship, starting on July 1, at a determined hospital, focusing on general surgery. After this year, a further four years of residency are required, during which time the doctor will throughly learn all the basics of orthopedic procedures in an apprentice role. He or she will benefit from spending a bit of time in several of the various subspecialties of the field, eg hip, knee, shoulder, etc., rather than concentrating exclusively in one targeted area. Finally, an optional year of fellowship in a particular subspecialty allows the orthopedist to focus on his desired area of treatment, eg., sports injuries, pediatric orthopedics, etc.

Only around ten percent of orthopedic residents are women, and about twenty percent of the total are members of minority groups. About 700 doctors per year in the United States complete the required five years of orthopedic residency training; they are reckoned to number around only 3 to 4 percent of all practicing physicians. Once residency is completed, the surgeon is enabled to seek Board certification, which requires another written and oral test and attention to the candidates performance record while in residency; in the United States, certification is provided by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. The total number of orthopedic surgeons in the US at present is thought to be around 20,400 – not many for a population of over 300 million!
