In 2000, I took Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), a 4-day course offered in Toronto and other centres. Through role-playing we learned rudimentary negotiation and mediation. A very varied group (lawyers, paralegals, managers, HR persons, a military negotiator, and one technical writer). This was partly for my own enjoyment and experience, and partly to remind me think before speaking. And why can I continue to speak with both feet firmly wedged in my mouth??

Costly, but worth it. And now they provide lunch.

For me, perhaps it was Typing in Grade 8. Or maybe History in Grade 12,
where I had my first experience writing a long, heavily researched paper.

Those types of responses would be interesting also, but I'm particularly
interested in courses that people have taken in the couple years or so. I
have seen various posters comment on courses they are thinking of taking,
and I have seen a number of suggestions as to courses to take.

However, what courses in particular have list members taken that have proven
immediately useful in actually getting a particular job or contract, or
increasing your salary/hourly rate? Also, is there any obvious preference
for knowledge gained from a course as opposed to knowledge gained from
self-study?
