Study Path
- Take the lessons:
- It’s best if you spend 15 to 30 minutes a day, every day. A gradual learning process is much more effective than an intense one. We’ve built the course with short, independent lessons to make it possible for you to study them gradually.
- While you’re learning, don’t worry about memorizing anything. If something is important, we’ll repeat it so many times from different perspectives that you will automatically remember it.
- Take notes, build mind maps, or draw diagrams while you’re taking the lessons. This helps you understand the lessons better and stay focused, even if you never use those notes.
- We’ll register you with the examination institute and send you the exam voucher. Vouchers are valid for one year.
- Take the official sample papers (included in the course). Check your wrong answers, find the areas of weakness, and take the related lessons again to fill in the gaps.
- Using your voucher, book the date and time of your exam with the examination institute.
- Take the official exam.
- Let us know about your success! We’re always happy to receive good news :)

eLearning Course vs. Classroom Course
Why Management Plaza?
There are many eLearning providers, and you might be wondering which one is the best choice for you. In fact, it’s a simple decision: all you have to do is to watch demos of the courses and compare them :) Just be careful with one thing: there are some providers who create one or a few interesting videos as samples, while the rest of the course doesn’t have anything to do with that.
We are a small group of project experts who love creating content and sharing what we have learned with our peers. While this is currently our main job, earning money is not our highest priority; the highest priority is the sense of achievement we get from creating something that can really help people.
