Learning Levels

We are all at different stages of professional and skill development that require different levels of learning. ASAE provides this opportunity through our learning level structure for you to explore what is relevant, what provides key business application, and what stretches and challenges you. It’s your choice as to the most appropriate level based on your current knowledge, business experience, and professional growth goals.

Foundational: focus on awareness and factual recall; appropriate for those with limited experience of the subject area seeking introductory understanding of the content areas.

Applied: focus on understanding and comprehension; appropriate for those with some experience seeking to build on, apply, or enhance existing knowledge using content in practical applications to master concepts.

Strategic: focus on application and implementation of highly technical or detailed topics; appropriate for those with substantial prerequisite knowledge seeking the most up-to-date information to heighten expertise.
