Training Methodology

This course is highly interactive and has been designed to enable you to update yourself with the latest thinking in generating and applying the building blocks of marketed business planning. The style will be very practical and participative; it will centre on a modular course case study.

Your course leader will present the main topics and examine these in depth. You may be split into smaller groups where you will discuss the applications in practice and will consolidate your understanding via course exercises based on the course case study – with each team reporting back at the conclusion of each exercise. After each exercise a model answer will be provided and discussed.

Some time will also be available after each training module to allow you to consider how the tool might be used in your own organisation. During this course there will be potential opportunities for you to enjoy one-on-one mini-consultations with your expert course leade.

Who Should Attend?

The course is open to participants from organisations who are considering the implementation of a Competence Assurance Programme.
The course is aimed at participants from the HR (Learning) Department and professionals who will provide professional (technical) input to the programme and who will be given the responsibility to manage the competence assurance process on a daily basis.

The course lecturer will adapt his programme to meet the entry level of the participants and to ensure that agreed course objectives are fully met at the end of the training course
