About the Courseware

The Courseware was created by experts from the industry who served as the author(s) for this publication. The input for the material was based on existing publications and the experience and expertise of the author(s). The material has been revised by trainers who also have experience working with the material. Close attention was also paid to the key learning points to ensure what needs to be mastered.

The objective of the courseware is to provide maximum support to the trainer and to the student, during his or her training. The material has a modular structure and according to the author(s) has the highest success rate should the student opt for examination. For this reason, the Courseware has also been accredited, wherever applicable.

In order to satisfy the requirements for accreditation the material must meet certain quality standards. The structure, the use of certain terms, diagrams and references are all part of this accreditation. Additionally, the material must be made available to each student in order to obtain full accreditation. To optimally support the trainer and the participant of the training assignments, practice exams and results have been provided with the material.

Direct reference to advised literature is also regularly covered in the sheets so that students can easily find additional information concerning a particular topic. The decision to separate note pages (handouts) from the Courseware was to encourage students to take notes throughout the material.

Although the courseware is complete, the possibility that the trainer may deviate from the structure of the sheets or chooses to not refer to all the sheets or commands does exist. The student always has the possibility to cover these topics and go through them on their own time. It is strongly recommended to follow the structure of the courseware and publications for maximum exam preparation.

The courseware and the recommended literature are the perfect combination to learn and understand the theory.

•This way, you will develop a deeper understanding of the subject and be able to ask questions during the course.

•For better retention of knowledge take regular breaks .

•Divide your studying into sessions of just 20-30 minutes , and focus on a single topic during each session.

Take notes

•When studying the material, take notes and mark anything you don’t understand.

•Create questions that can be asked during your course that are specific to what you don’t understand.

•To better memorize the content, you can create notes or flash cards that you can later use during revision of material.

•Notes or Flashcards can be combined with questions that can help you test yourself later as well.

Test yourself

•Keep practicing with the questions during the study period and make sure you understand the correct answer but also why the other options are wrong.

•Read and understand the case studies that will be discussed in class

•Answer the questions from the case studies and practice the answers on your own time also

Self-Reflection of understanding Diagram

‘What you do not measure, you cannot control." – Tom Peters

Fill in this diagram to self-evaluate your understanding of the material. This is an evaluation of how well you know the material and how well you understand it. In order to pass the exam successfully you should be aiming to reach the higher end of Level 3. If you really want to become a pro, then you should be aiming for Level 4. Your overall level of understanding will naturally follow the learning curve. So, it’s important to keep track of where you are at each point of the training and address any areas of difficulty.

Based on where you are within the Self-Reflection of Understanding diagram you can evaluate the progress of your own training.

Write down the problem areas that you are still having difficulty with so that you can consolidate them yourself, or with your trainer. After you have had a look at these, then you should evaluate to see if you now have a better understanding of where you actually are on the learning curve.
