Four Levels of Learning
The Four Levels of Learning, also referred to as the Four Stages for Learning Any New Skill or the Four Stages of Competence, is a learning model, which has been developed by Noel Burch in 1970. Easily said, it is a skill which is acquired and honed by following the process of progressing from incompetence to competence.

The Four Levels of Learning provides a model for accelerated learning. Did you know that learning process consists of four levels? In his astounding video, Dale explains the system in only four short sentences:
- Level 1: Unconscious Incompetence – You’re not aware that you don’t know what you don’t know. It’s not in your thought process; you simply don’t understand it.
- Level 2: Conscious Incompetence – At this stage you’re fully aware that you don’t know what you don’t know. Quite crazy, right? Fully aware that you don’t know what you don’t know…
- Level 3: Conscious Competence – You have to think about it, but you’re aware that you’ve acquired a new skill. Takes a bit of effort, but you’re aware of it.
- Level 4: Unconscious Competence – That’s what we all want. Now you’re an expert. No need to think about it as it comes absolutely naturally. That’s what we’re all searching for.
