00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:08.160
We are excited for the journey you are embarking 
on using the APIC Learning System for CIC. This

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.200
system offers an adaptive learning experience 
that prioritizes your knowledge gaps to

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.480
optimize the study experience and provide 
the most efficient path to certification.

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.320
When you first log in, you will be taken to 
the pre-test page. Taking the pre-test is an

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.160
important first step in your journey. Using your 
pre-test results, the APIC Learning System serves

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.240
up a study plan based on your current knowledge.
If you choose to wait and take the pre-test later,

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:42.480
you can select My Study Plan to proceed directly 
to the content and study tools. However, you

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.600
should know the system won’t have a recommended 
path for you without taking the pre-test.

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.800
Beyond the pre-test page is the main menu. 
The custom study plan is anchored at the

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:57.440
top of the menu and is designed to help you 
complete your studies in the most efficient

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:02.240
way possible by populating content that 
matches your current knowledge gaps.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.960
Also found at the top of the menu is the 
expandable tool bar. This is where you can

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.840
navigate to the reports, glossary, resource center 
and more. We’ll explore this later in the video.

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:18.560
Below the study plan, you always have 
access to resources and tools covering

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.880
topics tested on the certification exam. The 
materials are organized into five topic areas:

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.160
Identification of Infectious Disease Processes
Surveillance and Outbreaks

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:34.800
The Infection Prevention Program
Occupational Health, and

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:41.440
Preventing HAIs Linked to Equipment & Environment
You have the freedom to move cards on and off

00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:47.120
your study plan to personalize your path. Simply 
click the plus to move a card to the Study Path,

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:53.040
and the minus to take it off your study plan.
Each card represents a topic area covered in the

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.840
Exam Content Outline. Let’s explore a topic now.
When you click Begin, you are presented with all

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.840
the resources for this area including the 
reading materials, flashcards, and a quiz.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.440
Let’s take a look at the 
online reading experience.

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:12.800
The reading material provides an 
interactive experience where you

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.880
can explore and study the content in each area.
You should review the flashcards to reinforce

00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:23.440
concepts you’ve studied. The flashcards 
can also be downloaded in a printable

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:28.400
format from the Resource Center. Before 
concluding a study card, be sure to take

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.600
the Quiz to ensure you’ve understood and 
retained the content you’ve been studying.

00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:40.800
Let’s move on to the expanding tool bar menu where 
you can access your progress report, a glossary,

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.480
the resource center, and a search feature.
You can see your progress on each quiz by

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:51.200
clicking the My Progress button. This is a great 
way for you to get a high-level look at your

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:55.200
performance throughout the system.
In the glossary, you have access

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:03.120
to key terms and definitions using the 
alphabetical chooser or search option.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.520
The Resource Center contains additional 
tools and resources to aid in your

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.960
studies. Printable flashcards, content 
updates, and other relevant resources

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:18.000
are housed here to support your learning.
Enter key words or phrases into the Search

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.920
feature to quickly navigate to specific topics.
Once you are two weeks away from the exam date

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:28.640
you entered when you first log in, if 
you haven’t already taken the post-test,

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:33.120
the practice card will appear on the study 
plan to encourage you to use this valuable

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:39.840
tool. Remember, you can always change your 
exam date within the settings at any time.

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.880
By utilizing all the tools available 
in the APIC Learning System for CIC,

00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:49.920
we’re confident you’ll be prepared to pass 
your Certified in Infection Control exam!

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:53.840
We hope you’ve enjoyed the overview 
and best of luck with your studies!
