This subject aims to develop theoretical understanding and practical skills in the training and development process. Throughout this subject, students will examine various theories, models and concepts which relate to individual, group and organisational learning. Students will then utilise this scholarly insight to inform a practical assessment which will enable students to analyse, design, develop and evaluate their very own training session. More broadly this subject also explores the critical issues of training and skills development within society and today's organisations as they strive to meet the changing needs of their competitive environments.

In order to develop a host of skills that are increasingly important in the professional work, group work will also form part of one of the assessments in this subject.
