Well, not necessarily.

Some people will be on a course because they employer sent them there, 
but they themselves don't think they need it and it's a waste of their time.

But yes, *more* of them will want to be there.



BTW, I've only been on a course paid for by my employer once. It was a 
course on Windows 2000. The guy leading it did spent a brief period 
going over TCP/IP, and the subject of class-A/class-B/class-C networks 
came up. Would you believe that *I* was the only person in the room who 
knew that 2^24 is exactly 16,777,216?

Actually, the look the course leader and the other attendees gave me 
was... not welcoming. The course leader later claimed that in the 15 
years he's been doing this job, I'm the first person to know the exact 
answer; most people just know it's "approximately 17 million"...
