Learning and Development Planning

The purpose of an L&D Plan is to enable the student/manager to progress through a training program in a proper and organised manner. It is the basis for development or enhancement of professional competencies and follows the APIC’s Chart of Competencies. It provides a basis for assessing and developing key managerial and leadership competencies. Preparation of the L&D Plan is a major task and cannot be treated lightly as the eventual L&D Plan will be a personalised program of study that a student/manager completes. It will be a base document for both self management as well as the College and Employer’s review of the student/manager’s progress through the program. Preparation of the individual L&D Plan should follow a structured approach as per the methodology taught in the PDP Workshop and embedded in the L&D Planner tool. For the eventual L&D Plan to be accepted by the College it needs to conform to the Guidelines & Specification for L&D Plan Preparation. You need to read the Guidelines in conjunction with the information and advice given in the PDP Workshop. (Note: Every formal graduate student is required to develop a personalised L&D Plan on commencement of his/her studies in the College.) Download the following documents first:
