The Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD) has awarded Blue Sky Professional Development approval to deliver the Foundation Level 3 Certificate in Learning and Development (L&D). This qualification is ideal for trainers and line managers who are responsible for stages of the training cycle. The course covers identifying learning needs, designing and delivering training and evaluating the success of learning interventions. Also included are two further units that help students with their own personal development, as well as the business context. Alternatively, if individuals just want to study one or two topics they can undertake an Award.
‘This new qualification fits in with our current portfolio of CIPD and ILM courses’ according to Kate Woods, Director of Blue Sky, ‘We offer all levels of CIPD Human Resource qualifications and Learning and Development often goes hand in hand with this as it all forms part of an organisations people management strategy.’
Blue Sky’s first L&D students begin in September studying via blended learning. This combines monthly group workshops with an experienced tutor and distance learning materials. One of the benefits of this course is that it is modular which means that you can start at the beginning of any unit so there are start dates throughout the year.
The CIPD Certificate in Learning and Development can also be used by organisations to deliver in-house training programmes. Blue Sky have worked with local companies to tailor programmes in Leadership and Management and HR, and will be offering the same service with L&D.
