Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal's influence has been "brilliant" for Ryan Giggs' development as a coach, the Old Trafford No. 2 said.
Giggs, 41, retired as a player last summer after making a record 963 appearances over 23 years in the Manchester United team.
The former Wales captain, who became a player-coach during David Moyes' reign, was appointed assistant manager to the veteran Van Gaal.
"It's been brilliant for me," Giggs told MUTV. "I've finished all my coaching badges now but it's a completely different mind-set and skill-set for being a player to being a coach or an assistant manager. I've enjoyed the transition.
"The lads have been great with me and Louis and the rest of the staff who have been come in have been great as well. I'm learning every day and the experience of being out on the training pitch putting sessions on rather than being part of them has been invaluable."
Giggs won 13 Premier League titles during his playing days at Old Trafford and he feels Chelsea are worthy champions this year.
And he rued the inconsistency that cost United, who had a fine record against the top teams, a chance of challenging for the title themselves.
"Chelsea are the best team this year without a shadow of a doubt," he added. "The pleasing thing for us has been that in the big games we've proved that we've got the quality. We just perhaps not had the consistency, that's been the difference.
"We've dropped silly points and to win the Premier League you can't afford to do that. Every game is a battle whether it be home or away. We've proved that we've got the quality, but next season we need to get that consistency and be there or thereabouts at the turn of the year."
United had a slow start under Van Gaal, only taking 13 points from their first 10 games, and Giggs feels it is imperative they begin next season better.
He added: "You've seen in the past that this club is a juggernaut once you get that momentum and are winning games and when we do that we're very hard to stop. So that's what we want to achieve starting from the first game next season."
