General Information:
|
- Each Training Track includes “levels”, which are
necessary to master the skills in the track, and “specializations” which
offer advanced training in a particular facet of the application.
- Each session description includes a section
titled After this session you will be able to: that lists
specific measurable objectives and a section titled Apply your
skills: that lists tasks you will be able perform upon completion of
the session.
- The learner choose the tracks that lead to
desired skill sets.
- Prerequisites are clearly indicated, so the learner
will not duplicate skills already mastered or take sessions for which
they are under-prepared.
