1. Learning by Teaching

If you have to explain something to someone else, then you have already learned to explain it to yourself. So people are encouraged to teach their skills to each other, to their families, to friends, and so on.

2. Knowledge into Skill:

Developing a thorough understanding and conviction of the difference between merely having knowledge on a matter and owning a skill of performance in it. Understanding the strategy of practice and repetition.

3. Measurement:

Unless one was deliberately willing to trade off the necessary time and energy needed to acquire a new skill - that is, logging the hours of practice and repetition - the trainee could never expect to go beyond the knowing stage and reach a level of operating skill. This means focusing on the process and measuring it in hours of practice.

4. Commitment to Action:

The skills must be useful in daily life. To assist the transfer of skills acquired in training to real life situations, trainees designed specific “action commitments” on special planners including times, dates, places, etc.

5. Effective Follow-up:

The monitoring of feedback and measuring results were an important part of CAP. Checking to see if what happened was what the trainee really wanted. This became a continuous part of the process.

6. Reinforcement:

Noticing increments of progress in acquiring new skills and then recognising them in an appropriate way, were fundamental principles of CAP.
