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

In order to develop a range of skills that are increasingly important in professional work, group work will also form part of one of the assessment items in this unit.
