Purpose and aim of unit
This core unit will provide the knowledge and skills required to deliver planned learning and development (L&D) activities, for example one-to-one, small group and large group sessions. The need for learning and development arises for diverse reasons, including both individual self-assessment and organisational assessment. A learning and development needs analysis may identify organisational challenges or problems affecting employees, for example major organisational change; the introduction of new operations or systems and/or the maintenance of existing operations or systems. The identification of learning and development needs may also arise during an induction process. This unit will review adult learning principles and the learning cycle, but the main focus will be on the importance of creating and maintaining a positive learning environment and the knowledge and skills required for the actual delivery of an activity or session.
This unit is suitable for persons who:
 are aspiring to, or embarking on, a career in HR/L&D
 are working in the field of HR/L&D in a support role and wish to develop their knowledge and skills
 have responsibility for HR/L&D activities and decisions within an organisation without a specialist function
