Important: This first release stores demo records in this browser only. It is interactive and useful for trying the workflow, but it does not yet synchronise learner records across devices or send real email/push reminders. We should connect shared storage and reminders before relying on it as the group's official register.

Facilitator plan

Our 9-week study plan

One two-hour study session each week. Weeks 1–7 cover the syllabus; Weeks 8–9 are dedicated to past questions, review and exam practice.

9 sessions · 18 hours

How to use this plan: Read the assigned chapter sections before each meeting where possible. Use the session for explanation, discussion, examples and retrieval practice. Record attendance and assign follow-up tasks in the hub's existing tools. This is a facilitator's study schedule, not an official CIPM timetable.
