The FlexPath model is grounded in the principle of competency-based education (CBE), which emphasizes mastery of specific skills and NURS FPX knowledge over the traditional time-based approach. In FlexPath, students are given the autonomy to progress through their courses at their own pace, submitting assessments that demonstrate their understanding and application of the course material. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for adult learners who juggle various responsibilities, including work and family commitments. However, this self-paced nature also requires a high degree of self-motivation and discipline, which is where a tutor can play a crucial role.
