Learning from others- Under this, learning can be done through various sources which
are given below:
Mentoring/Coaching- Mentoring is relationship where experienced person guide less

profession for accomplishment of result. It enables practitioners to gain license to practice in
profession. This is type of lifelong learning which encourages personal and professional
development of individual (King, 2014).
