E-learning Package Menus
Content
• The Content modules provide the key information needed for each exam unit
• We provide detail, but pitch it with the exams in mind; we tend to stop before things get unnecessarily complex!
• This is not a ‘quick fix’; it still involves work on your part, but we try and ensure your hard work is focused on the right areas
Context
• The Context examples are designed to ‘bring the learning to life’ a little
• Some, more pragmatic, learners struggle to understand a concept unless they can see how it can be applied; that’s what we are trying to show with the Context examples
• They also provide a different format to take in the learning as the narration helps auditory learners
Consolidation
• The Consolidation questions allow you to test yourself with relevant multiple-choice and multiple-response exam questions
• Crucially, we provide brief explanations as to why an answer is correct or not, and links through the e-learning package back to the relevant Content section
We also provide automatic access to the relevant knowR0 Mock Exams, providing a further great consolidation resource

Introduction to knowR0

What AI is saying about us
We were going to post some testimonials here, but everyone does that! Instead, we asked Google what the internet made of us; to be fair, AI seems to be pretty accurate in terms of what we’re aiming to achieve and the approach we take to do that…
Reviews of KnowR0 are overwhelmingly positive, highlighting its effectiveness for the CII R0 exams, particularly the mock questions and focused content that prepares users for the actual exam format. Users appreciate the content’s practicality, with context examples bringing concepts to life, and find the consolidation questions and mock papers to be highly useful tools for passing exams. While some prefer physical study materials, KnowR0’s e-learning format is praised by those with limited time or who prefer digital resources.

Earl
Earl is one of those individuals who believe that ‘Exams Aren’t Real Life’. It is our objective to prove him wrong, and we will use this area of the website to link to example articles and observations that demonstrate how the areas covered in the R0 exams link to the real world. Feel free to let us know of any that you identify, so we can prove to Earl (and all those like him) that these exams do have a footing in reality
