Because you see. This certificate will provide me with a joker in my cards. This will open doors on jobs I didn't have access before in my own firm. And this also represent a wonderful employment insurance policy for I know that, having that certificate, I will be able to find a job in any financial company there is.
The problem is... I have absolutely no time to study.
But I have to do this course if I don't want to stand still.
This is a distance course. So I can study on my own pace. There is ten courses to take and as per the education center, it takes from three to six months each courses on average. Now I don't want to take three to five years to complete the curriculum. It would deceive my purpose of moving as fast as I can.
So here is the bet I took. As per the education center, this course should take at least 45 hours study. I took one week vacation. My exam is scheduled for August 27 at 1h00 PM. This means that there is seven days remaining. I made absolutely no study so far except reading and high lighting the books. If I put five yours a day study on this, I should pile up 35 hours study. I will get short as per their proposed requirement. But I am a fast learner and I count on it.
That is the bet I took: piling up study hours and trash the exam in one week. If I succeed, I will do the same with all the other courses. So I should be able to do something like one course each two months or so. May be less (two weeks reading and highlighting, one week study then exam = course done in 3 weeks). I should finish the curriculum in one year and a half (may be less) instead of the three years minimum they suggest. (This is still long by my standard for I would like to have the certificate like... yesterday. But never the less, its better than five years).
That is a challenge I know. But I'm in it now and there is no turning back (I already paid for the course).
I will report my advances and findings here.
