Mastery Model

Mastery training is all about determining how much your trainee knows, how much of what they know they will ACT on, and how mastered they are on the content.  This technique is meant to expose doubt, misinformation, and ignorance

 

To us, training comes in two forms: liability and behavioral.

 

Liability training is provided to comply with government or risk management requirements. It’s more about meeting an obligation than actual learning. Behavioral training, on the other hand, is all about learning. It’s about receiving information, retaining it and acting on it.

 

Our mastery model shows students how to master new information and retain it for future application. We engage not only the conscious, but the subconscious mind.

 

Standard e-learning offers a 10 to 50 percent retention rate over 12 months. We believe our techniques offer up to a 90 percent retention rate during this same period. 

How Does It Work?

Step 1

Spark Curiosity - Most e-learning platforms first ask your trainees to remember or review new information.  By using the Mastery method, you begin by asking questions and achieving a curious state of mind.  This activates certain nearons within the brain that automatically begin to permanently record the information.

Repeat & Randomize - This is critical.  As they are questioned and presented with new information,  you asssess their progress and change the game.  You help them retain the information by programming it into their subconcious memory.  Remember, subconscious memories change behaviors, conscious learning only temporarily stores the data but does not shift behavior patterns.

Gradually Master Content - As the trainee progress through each module they continue to answer questions therefore mastering the content.  When this happens, the data is committed to memory and they can act without thinking about it.  Once they've reached complete Mastery, their brain automatically steps in and guides their behavior; at that point, they have completed the training.
