---

Hello dear steemian friends, it's great that we can continue the Steemit Learning Challenge (SLC) course in Season 22 Week 4, hope you all enjoyed this week's course materials.

Teaching the Brilliant Teacher team focuses on the education and knowledge of participants in the field of learning. Still, participants in the general category can also participate based on their experience and the material we deliver. This means that the theme of our lesson can be followed by all participants, but still by our big theme.

We also do not give ratings to participants who are identified as plagiarists or AI, and we have testing tools that we believe are accurate. What needs to be understood is that if participants are identified as violating these rules, we do not accuse but only inform the results of the checks we carry out.

Seminars tend to be more general and informative, whereas training is more in-depth and focuses on practical skills. Meaning: seminars, are usually generally accepted so that the character and expertise of the participants are more diverse. While, Training is usually followed by people who really want to focus on one area and already have a basis for the knowledge they want to convey.
