Writer's pictureThe Virtual Agile Coach

The way we learn new skills is changing


Kudos on the visual by Roberto Ferraro


Not towards more certifications but longitudinal learning over time


And I love it!


So do my clients → Why?

1. Traditional 2-day certifications introduce theory 


↳ But don't allow enough time for practice 


2. Spaced repetition - [Think Duolingo]


↳ Like more reps in a gym - Practice aids remembering your learnings


3. Our needs change [Just like all plans!]


↳ A flexible syllabus lets learners re-prioritise what they learn next


4. Additional feedback loops with your trainer


↳ Enables practice AND reflection - Catching errors earlier


5. Reduced cognitive overload 


↳ Making it less like cramming for an exam


To be clear - I've got nothing against 2-day certifications or those that deliver them.


I just believe that developing:


- Competence


- Confidence


- Capability


- And Mastery


Is best achieved over time
