Project Management Training FAQs
-
What background do I need for this introduction to project management training?
No specific experience is required.
-
Is the on-demand content the same as the 3-day instructor class?
The content and concepts are very similar but the on-demand class is not a recorded version of the instructor-led class. The content has been re-imagined here to be presented in an adaptive, self-guided format.
-
What is adaptive learning?
Adaptive learning is a method of on-demand instruction that orchestrates artificial intelligence and sophisticated algorithms to present the next appropriate action based on what it knows about each unique learner. It evolves moment-by-moment using trial and error as the environment changes. This allows the learner to make mistakes and pursue misconceptions, closely mimicking real-world cognitive situations in a consequence-free environment, and providing an effective and engaging experience. Such personalization increases efficiency, as well as engagement, by taking into consideration what each learner has already mastered — reducing time to learning by 50% on average.
-
How long will it take me to get through the adaptive content?
That is completely up to you! Adaptive learning is proven to reduce learning time by 50% since it takes into account what you already know - only presenting content when you need it.
In general, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to complete each module, so potentially anywhere from 140 minutes to 14 hours, depending on your comfort level with the material.
-
How will I access my course materials if I choose this method?
