What does The Burnham System for CIC offer?

A learning key to the mandatory topics

Mandatory topics comprise about 85% of the CIC program. 

There is tremendous agreement among great teachers and experts regarding the essentials of every subject and what should be tested. 

CIC instructors are experts in their subjects and great live presenters. 
CIC educational consultants are experts in the topics that will be covered and in test design. 
I am an expert in the subjects and in designing printed educational materials. 

Simply, every CIC presentation is unique, but your instructor, the educational consultant, and I most certainly agree on the essentials of what you need to know of every mandatory CIC topic.

 
Why I exclude the optional topics?

I chose not to cover the optional topics for three reasons:

  1. The mandatory topics are more important to you--that's why they're mandatory. 
    If I included the optional topics, any time you spent studying them would be taken away from the time you'd spend studying the more important mandatory topics.

  2. Optional topics focus more on those topics which are in a state of flux, topics where the experts are less likely to agree on essentials.

  3. There are 6 to 8 optional topics per CIC Institute, yet only 1 or 2 are covered. 
    I don't want you to spend your valuable time studying the wrong material for your particular Institute.
