Take a Gamble with E-Learning!

E-learning is an ever-growing form of training and is now used in many sectors. It appears that there is no end to its uses and is applicable to a plethora of jobs. The University of Mansfield has now introduced a Casino Gaming program which is aimed at giving their students the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in a casino.

It uses interactive multimedia and video e-mails to instruct and guide the students and is supported by the World Poker star Johnny Chan. It teaches everything from methods to mannerisms of professional players. There are several courses including how to become a Poker or Blackjack dealer, and also covers the basics such as shuffling.

This is a fine example of how e-learning has the ability to reach out into fields that would normally be virtually impossible to get into for the average person. If this is a success it could pave the way for others and make ‘fantasy jobs’ become a reality.
