greatest return on investment by presenting a series of manageable
"chunks" of information, helping delegates to build
lasting, immediately applicable skills through short bursts
of learning followed by authentic practice.
Why 90 Minutes?
Research
indicates that the average adult can listen with understanding
for ninety minutes , and can listen with retention
for only twenty minutes source. Using this
concept, we have developed a series of short courses focused

Self Diagnosis
The
Chunks assessment or self diagnostic is non-technical and where
possible avoids computer jargon as the questions relate every
technical area to a practical task.
Although there may be a range of 12-40 questions depending on the
Chunk, there is an intelligent process running in the background.
It is considered intelligent because it asks a series of simplified
questions with the aim of scoring you on practical experience.
Intelligent questioning may be asked in this way
An example:
With this methodology if you score below 3 out of 4 marks then the system will recommend the technical topic (see Growing List)
e.g. There are three scenarios on the left based on the question: Do you know Tony Blair? To which most people will say yes.
Scenarios
1) All question correct - 100% - Is ready for next level.
2)One question wrong - 75% - Needs
to review recommendations
3)Two questions wrong - 50% - Needs
to review recommendations and address knowledge base.
