Recommended Learning Pace
1 Video Session per Day
1 Module per Week (max)
We recommend that learners study at a pace of one video session per learning day. This pace allows learners to identify and begin to internalize the great ideas in each session, and then put those ideas to use in their regular professional practice.
Remember: When students try to cram information to pass a test, they tend to retain less of the valuable information. To adopt new ideas effectively, learners must invest enough time to process them.
Immediate Practical Application
Each session will deliver many great ideas that can be adopted immediately. We encourage learners to identify which ideas are most appropriate to adopt for your professional needs, and begin incorporating them into your daily practice. Actively adopting the best ideas in the program will help your knowledge retention, and can offer the most impact to your career.
Use the Quizzes as Assessments
Each module quiz is required to unlock your certification. Quizzes are also helpful feedback on your progress. If you find yourself struggling with a quiz, use that as a cue that you could use more study time for that module.
Remember: The quizzes in this program can be retaken without penalty. We use this format to reduce test anxiety, let you focus on learning instead of test cramming, and let you use the quizzes as a learning assessment.
Go Deeper as Needed
There may be modules that you find easy, given your training and experience. Likewise, we provide various optional study tools to help you if you find any modules challenging.
If you encounter a challenging topic, take advantage of the module Workbook. And consider looking in the FBA Knowledge Center for additional education around the topic. If after reviewing the Workbook you still find the topic challenging, you can contact FBA to ask for additional resources, as we have a deep catalog of hundreds of articles and video sessions.
Remember:
Maintain a Productive Learning Pace
Aim for one video session per study day. Avoid cramming for the quiz.
Begin to Adopt New Ideas Immediately
Bring what you have learned into your work.
Practice and Discuss What You Learn
Use the workbooks to practice. Discuss new ideas with your peers.
