11. Focus on Exam Technique

Level Up your Certifications

Certifications have the ability to turn your aptitude into evidence that others can rely upon. Whether you are looking to achieve that next step in your career, or pivot and change direction, certifications can help you make your move.

But which certifications are the right ones for you, and who do you decide to study with? In this episode we explore the world of learning and studying for all manner of professional qualifications.

REAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN REAL TIME

Join the panel on this show and ask all the questions you have relating to professional certifications and get hints and tips about making the most of your study and exam.

Example questions could include:

  • How can I recognise quality certifications?
  • What are employers looking for?
  • How can I improve my CV?
  • What do I need to do to get recognised for what I can do, rather than what I am doing?

Register now to submit your questions and take part. You will also be able to upvote questions submitted; the more votes a question has, the more time the panel will spend discussing.

Strategic sourcing of direct materials from a global market to support the GB division of Stanley Security and then setting value pricing strategy for new solutions for our key markets.

Change during the pandemic; Supply shortages, Suez Canal incident, Brexit, manufacturing plants reduced capacity, shift in consumer behaviour, public opinion on technology inline with GDPR…

Positive Experiences: challenge to logistics networks has sped up improvements, flexibility of workforce and trust has been enhanced, empathy towards other humans/professions has shone through.

Impact: less BAU and greater acceptance of change occurrence, how we work, how we interact, how we feel about work has all changed.

What is Marc's proudest achievement?

Marc is particularly proud of maintaining and pursuing curiosity to continuously challenge himself and his understanding of the world around him.

His continuous thirst for learning has led him to academic achievement with a Masters of Business (MBA), and various Educational qualifications as well as hobby learning in philosophy.
