Description
Learning and Development Strategy offers a structured academic exploration of organisational training systems, performance improvement methodologies, and workforce capability planning. The curriculum is sequenced to build foundational understanding before progressing into strategic leadership perspectives.
The programme begins with principles of Learning & development, examining theoretical frameworks such as behavioural, cognitive, and experiential learning models. Adult learning principles are explored to understand motivation, engagement, and self-directed learning within workplace environments. Learners analyse how learning theories influence training design and facilitation choices.
The second lecture focuses on training needs analysis (TNA) and programme design. Learners explore diagnostic frameworks for identifying skills gaps, competency mapping techniques, and stakeholder consultation processes. Programme design principles include defining learning outcomes, structuring modules, selecting delivery formats, and developing training materials aligned with objectives.
Delivery of training is examined in depth, covering facilitation techniques, group management strategies, and learner engagement methods. The role of digital technology, e-learning platforms, and blended learning approaches is analysed. Learners explore how technology enhances scalability, accessibility, and data tracking within Learning & development systems.
Evaluation and assessment modules introduce measurement models such as reaction, learning, behaviour, and results-based frameworks. Learners examine performance assessment strategies, feedback mechanisms, and continuous improvement methodologies. Emphasis is placed on linking learning outcomes to organisational impact.
Strategic L&D management modules address alignment between training initiatives and corporate objectives. Budgeting, resource allocation, cost-benefit analysis, and leadership influence are examined. Change management frameworks are explored to understand how Learning & development initiatives support organisational transformation.
Professional development and ethics modules highlight responsible practice, confidentiality, inclusivity, and professional boundaries. Learners examine career progression pathways within L&D roles and consider the importance of ongoing professional development.
Throughout the course, learners develop awareness of the strategic importance of Learning & development within organisational ecosystems. The programme integrates theory with applied organisational analysis to build comprehensive academic understanding.
Assessment consists of a written assignment and final examination designed to evaluate integrated knowledge across instructional design, evaluation, and strategic management domains.
