Ok so I have my co-workers binder of ALL the lesson content printed for both ACQ101 and 202. I could literally click through the lessons and then answer the 4-8 question chapter tests within 3 attempts to pass the course just by looking through this binder. Or I could read all the content and actually try to comprehend then take the test. Is it really that important I have a thorough understanding of this stuff? I feel like it's just for the sake of having the certification and anything I need to know for my job/desk audit I will learn THROUGH MY JOB without this. What do you think? Skim and shop for answers? Or thoroughly read and comprehend?
I had the same train of thought as you when I started back in 2009 taking DAU classes. I like to actually start and finish things and give a thorough effort, but with these...honestly you learn a lot more on the job and the level I courses are just a lot of general information and specifics that might not mean anything to you at the time depending on how your agency operates or what your job requires you to handle.
Focus on holding down your job duties/responsibilities and skim and click through the DAU courses and search for the answers. I know we used to be able to save the slides to a huge PDF file and just ctrl + f search for buzz words in the questions for the tests. Now once you go to in class trainings and courses like CON 120 or CON 90 that take a few weeks, those you can pay more attention to.
