       Self-Reflection of understanding Diagram

      ‘What you do not measure, you cannot control.” – Tom Peters

      Fill in this diagram to self-evaluate your understanding of the material. This is an evaluation of how well you know the material and how well you understand it. In order to pass the exam successfully you should be aiming to reach the higher end of Level 3. If you really want to become a pro, then you should be aiming for Level 4. Your overall level of understanding will naturally follow the learning curve. So, it’s important to keep track of where you are at each point of the training and address any areas of difficulty.

      Based on where you are within the Self-Reflection of Understanding diagram you can evaluate the progress of your own training.
