More Important Queries (FAQ)

Our courses are self-paced, which means you can learn in your own time and schedule. You don’t need to complete the same assignments or learn at the same time as others. You can proceed from one topic or segment to the next at your speed.

No pressure, more retention

Self-paced learning removes the time pressure that exists during live training. There’s no pressure to complete the assignments and learn at the same speed as others. No one needs to pretend that they understood something that they didn’t. Instead, they can review the material on their own.

Setting your own schedule

Self-paced learning enables kids to create their schedules. It is especially helpful for participants that have other tasks and can’t attend a live class or training. Even if there is a deadline to complete a course, for example, they can choose how and when they take it.

Possibly less distraction

When kids create their learning schedules, they can study when they can focus best. They can pick when they have fewer interruptions from family members or other tasks. Of course, it takes self-discipline to accomplish that.

Suitable for different learning styles

People have different learning styles. Some people learn fast, while others take their time. People who prefer to complete the material quickly should not have to wait for others. Self-paced learning makes it possible for your participants to adapt to their different learning styles.
