Making the decision to take a new course can be exhilarating. Signing up for a course can trigger excitement and anticipation. If the course includes friends in your industry it may feel like an invitation to a party of sorts. If you’re not careful, you could confuse taking a course with being entertained. Don’t lose the benefits of the course by failing to actively participate in what’s going on.
Actively tackling the course can help you translate the information into useful content for your unique business needs. Here are some tips that can help-
Top Tips to Make the Most of Any Course
Top Tip: Take proper notes
Top Tip: Review and make plans
Top Tip: Set goals and time frames
Top Tip: Don’t be shy to ask questions
Take proper notes for easier implementation- Notetaking is an important task for learning new content. When taking notes, think about your unique business and how the content applies to your market and your goals. Translate the information for your needs to ensure you’re applying it directly to what you are trying to do.
Review your notes and make solid plans- Your notes should highlight the content that feels most relevant to your business goals. Review your notes about the content and how it applies to your business. Start to lay out plans so things take shape.
Set goals and time frames- Come up with projects, goals, and ideas that implement what you’ve learned. Set time frames to keep you motivated and prevent you from stalling. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Focus on small steps you can take to get the biggest results in the end.
Don’t be afraid to get some help- The whole purpose of taking a course is to learn new material to help you achieve your business goals. During the course, you likely have the greatest access to instructors or coaches that support the material. Making goals and asking questions during the course keeps you from floundering later on your own. It can also help you get assistance while the content is fresh in your mind.
Remember: Your course leader is human too. Getting engagement, feedback, and participation in a course helps them feel more confident and encouraged to deliver their best content. The more active you are the better it makes the course for everyone. You may be asking questions someone else is thinking too. In the end, active participation in a course makes the best use of your time and investment and helps you retain the material better.
