Revising

[Nola25]

Hi

I'm attending a course next week for a professional qualification that, if I pass, will involve a fairly decent salary hike and open others avenues for employment.

Course is an Agile PM foundation and Practitioner and I've been informed as part of the pre course admin that homework and revision will be needed.

I currently work as a Junior PM and whilst I have my Prince2 qualification I barely scrapped a pass as I didn't carry out any revision but this time, because I basically don't know how to revise. didn't do much at school 35yrs ago and haven't done any since. I do perform fairly high within my current role, hence the course being offered.

I struggle to absorb information unless I'm actually doing the do and lack high levels of concentration when learning from a text book (my efforts at learning about bringing up a baby from a book are testament to that, albeit now he's here I'm doing ok)

Any tips on how to approach this?

Many thanks for all of your replies and advice

Been and stocked up on flash cards, sticky notes etc and found a couple of videos to watch

Out of interest who is the course provider? It’s a bit of a Wild West out there with some professional outfits (QA and Global Knowledge spring to mind) but also a fair few mom-and-pop shops.

It’s a company called The Knowledge Academy

Again, many thanks for all of your replies and hints

Took the foundation test last week and scraped through, practitioner today and passed that too

Flash cards helped, as did having a decent amount of time to read, make notes and repeat

Cheers all
