Learning process
Move from discovery to evidence of capability.
Learning is most valuable when the learner can connect a concept to an action, environment or delivery outcome. Academy routes are therefore designed around progression rather than attendance alone.
Use self-paced content or instructor-led delivery to build the required concepts and technical patterns.
Apply knowledge through labs, exercises, demonstrations, scenarios, assessments and implementation tasks.
Capture evidence, prepare for certification where relevant and continue into the next capability milestone.
