Learning Bridges

Smooth transitions between academy parts.

Each bridge helps you:

  1. Consolidate what you learned in the previous part
  2. Connect concepts to what comes next
  3. Preview skills you'll develop

Why Bridges Matter

Part N skills → Gap → Part N+1 skills

Without bridges, you might wonder:

  • "Why do I need this?"
  • "How does this connect to what I learned?"
  • "Am I ready for the next part?"

Bridges answer these questions.


How to Use Bridges

Before moving to the next part:

  1. Read the bridge guide
  2. Complete the self-assessment
  3. Review any concepts you're unsure about
  4. Try the bridge exercises

If you're struggling:

  • Go back to the previous part's lessons
  • Don't skip — each part builds on the last
