         You have one more ‘perk’ for getting the P.O.E.C. during<\/strong> the course that store buyers do not. Level 1 participants access\u00a0 Lorna Sikorski’s recorded web series entitled: “P.O.E.C.’s Talking Manual”.\u00a0 Certainly, you still need the manual. \u00a0However, it’s great to hear the author give you a broad-strokes overview of the assessment and her personal tips and strategies for using the test (and, reading the manual effectively) that can only be accomplished by informally chatting about it!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
