Continuing education in statistics

Learning should be fun as well as inspiring and innovative. What you learn should be directly applicable to your daily work and should help you see things in a new perspective and your studies should fit into a busy life. Who of us has not tried to return home from a course putting the briefcase away and shelving the hand-outs only to forget the knowledge acquired during the excellent course because it was not really applicable to our daily work and because there is not time during an ordinary working day to put acquired theories into practice.
