Today we issued graduation emails to those in the first two intakes of RTS Malaysia Level 1.
When we were reviewing the results of Intake 1 Mark said to me “either I’ve made the questions too easy or you’re teaching this too well!”
-
It’s probably more the latter than the former. This course isn’t about the exam, because:
- if you’ve got a solid professional background,
- if you take notes carefully during class
- if you ensure you understand the concepts I put across at the time
... it’s not too hard. The hard bit is that we don’t just teach you a syllabus to pass an exam.
-
A lot of certifications exist and are acquired so the certifiers can sell coaches a cert which the coach can use to make money. They make the information appear conclusive, as if it’s all one needs to know to coach. A materialistic product sold for a materialistic outcome.
-
Why do we have an exam then?
- Attendees have a sense of a achievement from passing it
- they take notes more furiously knowing they’re getting tested
- it’s a good way to confirm they understood what we intended to teach.
-
It’s not about a syllabus. The reality is that this learning process goes on forever. Yes, there are the basic foundational facts that one needs to know to be a capable, responsible practitioner... but the rest of the never-ending educational journey requires thought processes and mindset. The goal is not having students come across every exam question and trying to recall a memorised answer. It’s about being able to think it through and come to a conclusion.
-
We’re here to prepare attendees for the real world, full of fanciful ideas borne out of creativity not science, and spurious claims by those who know outlandish statements get traction. It’s so good to know those attending are “getting it” so well.
-
Oh, and if you’re curious, if attendees don’t pass, that’s on me. Retakes are free every 2 months and I’ll spend as long as it takes and someone is willing to put in to get their understanding where it needs to be to think their way through the exam.
