00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:08.400
We are excited for the journey you are embarking 
on using the APIC Learning System for LTC-CIP.

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.240
This system offers an adaptive learning experience 
that prioritizes your knowledge gaps to optimize

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.120
the study experience and provide the 
most efficient path to certification.

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.720
When you first log in, you will be taken to 
the pre-test page. Taking the pre-test is an

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:30.480
important first step in your journey. Using your 
pre-test results, the APIC Learning System serves

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.880
up a study plan based on your current knowledge.
If you choose to wait and take the pre-test later,

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:43.040
you can select My Study Plan to proceed directly 
to the content and study tools. However, you

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:48.160
should know the system won’t have a recommended 
path for you without taking the pre-test.

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.280
Beyond the pre-test page is the main menu. 
The custom study plan is anchored at the

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.920
top of the menu and is designed to help you 
complete your studies in the most efficient

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.320
way possible by populating content that 
matches your current knowledge gaps.

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.120
Also found at the top of the menu is the 
expandable tool bar. This is where you can

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:14.400
navigate to reports, glossary, resource center 
and more. We’ll explore this later in the video.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.040
Below the study plan, you always have 
access to resources and tools covering

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.520
topics tested on the certification exam. The 
materials are organized into six topic areas:

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:28.480
Long-Term Care Settings
Microbiology,

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:34.880
Epidemiology, and Normal Aging Processes
The Infection Prevention and Control Program

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:38.800
Surveillance of Communicable Diseases
Prevention and Control of

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:44.160
Communicable Diseases, and
Infection Prevention for Ancillary Services

00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:49.520
You have the freedom to move cards on and off 
your study plan to personalize your path. Simply

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:54.720
click the plus to move a card to the Study Path, 
and the minus to take it off your study plan.

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.120
Each card represents a topic area covered in the 
Exam Content Outline. Let’s explore a topic now.

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.640
When you click Begin, you are presented with all 
the resources for this area including the reading

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.520
materials, flashcards, and a quiz.
Let’s take a look at the online

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.640
reading experience.
The reading material

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.640
provides an interactive experience where you 
can explore and study the content in each area.

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:24.640
You should review the flashcards to 
reinforce concepts you’ve studied.

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:29.920
The flashcards can also be downloaded in a 
printable format from the Resource Center.

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:34.720
Before concluding a study card, be sure to 
take the Quiz to ensure you’ve understood

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.160
and retained the content you’ve been studying.
Let’s move on to the expanding tool bar menu where

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.800
you can access your progress report, a glossary, 
the resource center, and a search feature.

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.520
You can see your progress on each quiz by 
clicking the My Progress button. This is a

00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.840
great way for you to get a high-level look 
at your performance throughout the system.

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.240
In the glossary, you have access to 
key terms and definitions using the

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.280
alphabetical chooser or search option.
The Resource Center contains additional

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.160
tools and resources to aid in your 
studies. Printable flashcards,

00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:15.680
content updates, and other relevant resources 
are housed here to support your learning.

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.160
Enter key words or phrases into the Search 
feature to quickly navigate to specific topics.

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:26.480
Once you are two weeks away from the exam 
date you entered when you first log in,

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:30.160
if you haven’t already taken the 
post-test, the practice card will

00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:35.360
appear on the study plan to encourage 
you to use this valuable tool. Remember,

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.640
you can always change your exam date 
within the settings at any time.

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:47.200
By utilizing all the tools available in the APIC 
Learning System for LTC-CIP, we’re confident

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.880
you’ll be prepared to pass your Long Term Care 
Certification in Infection Prevention exam!

00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:56.560
We hope you’ve enjoyed the overview 
and best of luck with your studies!
