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
