5OS03 Learning and development essentials

5OS03 Learning and development essentials covers the key parts of learning and development for people in management roles. It looks at how learning and development helps improve performance across the organisation. The unit also explains how to design, develop, and deliver training, and explores different ways of learning to keep people engaged and support business goals.

What You Will Learn

You will look at the main topics and trends that influence how learning and development is delivered in organisations today. You’ll compare how learning and development links with other parts of the business to help meet goals. You will also explore different training methods and how they can be combined to create engaging learning experiences. In addition, you’ll learn about group learning, how to guide discussions, and why it’s important to consider different learning environments. Finally, you’ll look at the benefits and risks of informal and self-directed learning.
