6 tips to help you on your study journey

Title: 6 tips to help you on your study journey. Let’s imagine that you have enrolled onto your new ICA training course and are now eager to start studying and learning immediately. And who can blame you? The decision to undertake a qualification, alongside work and family life, is a significant commitment with a rewarding outcome. ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest’ – Benjamin Franklin was not wrong. With this in mind, we have put together a list of some simple study methods and useful advice to help you achieve success during your study journey with us at ICA. 1. Determine your study goals: Have you thought about what you would like to achieve from your course? Create a daily, weekly and monthly to-do list that helps you obtain your goal. By doing this, you will be able to prioritise and clarify what is truly important for your studies. 2. Routine is key: Having a fixed routine or schedule for studying is more effective – try studying for one-hour bursts per day. Routinely studying means that you retain information and genuinely learn it, rather than simply memorising. 3. Get in touch: Studying online does not mean studying alone – it means studying in a collaborative, albeit different, way. If you are unsure about a topic, or simply need to ask a question, then don’t assume – ask. The Q&A Forums on the Learning Platform are the ideal place to do this. 4. Test yourself: This is an excellent way to ensure that you hold on to all of that important and new information. It is critical to helping you think more deeply about your chosen subject matter. After all, it is a deliberate action to stop, pause and repeat. 5. Find your study method: It is important that you find something that works for you. Nothing is more draining to your motivation than attempting to study in a way that is wholly incompatible with your personality. 6. Do not panic: We have all had that moment when we have looked at an assignment/exam question and thought ‘I haven’t a clue how to approach this!’. Remember, it is not the role of the examiner to confuse or trick you so don’t panic, look at the question again, and break it down into smaller components.
