Self-education: how to leverage the end of credentialism - Ness Labs

Self-learning (also known as autodidacticism) is useful for certification (and fine-tuning) of your existing skills, to be able to learn continuously, and for the cultivation of your curiosity.

It’s essential to move out of the comfort zone and dive into the learning zone.

Self-learning is about goals and the meaning you derive out of your work, though it can also work without a goal, only for self-satisfaction.

The Learning Loop is as follows:

1. Identification of the goal, where we research about what are the requirements.
2. Devising a learning strategy.
3. Practice with consistency and resilience.
4. Ensure you get adequate feedback about your progress.
