Learning Stages

All Marvin courses are organized into Core, Core Builder, Extended, and Specialized stages, creating a clear learning path that meets both general, role- or  study-specific training needs:

👉 Start with fundamentals (Core),
👉 grow into a Marvin EDC builder (Core Build),
👉 then broadening knowledge (Extended),
👉 and into study-specifc expertise (Specialized).

Learning Method

At EvidentIQ, we believe in the 70:20:10 training model.

Our training approach combines self-paced online courses with live, instructor-led sessions from our Marvin experts. Blended learning allows you to benefit from both interactive training and flexible self-study options.

You’ll also have access to our knowledge base, filled with helpful guides and instructions for specific features. 

Beyond training sessions, our team is here to support you with real-life challenges and questions throughout your learning journey and study setup.

 
💡Have you heard about the 70:20:10 model?

 

This model shows how people usually build workplace skills and knowledge. It suggests that:

 

🛠️ 70% of learning happens through hands-on work and real-life experience.

💬 20% of learning comes from feedback, mentoring, and collaboration with others.

📚 10% of learning comes from formal training, such as courses, workshops, and e-learning.
