Abstract

A system and method for professional education through a business system of cooperating participants and other educational service providers, organized in order to effect incentive-based individual learning: namely, to engage the user as a learner by way of offering participation incentives. The associated educational service pertains to individualized programs for licensure or certification in the fields of medicine, dentistry, law, or business, depending on the individual learner's needs. The system and method thus provides incentive opportunities as further motivation to learn, without exclusively providing monetary gain to the learner although monetary gain is an option. The learner derives benefit from the knowledge gained in preparation for license or certification examinations, and from the goodwill of his or her efforts resulting in some benefit bestowed upon others.
