This course is aimed at line managers responsible for training, people seeking careers in training, people involved in training seeking a formal qualification or people seeking a career change. The Certificate in Learning & Development Practice has been designed to enable students who come from a variety of backgrounds, including line managers, secretarial/personnel assistants, clerical staff, and similar to acquire a wide range of relevant practical personnel skills with which to become more efficient in their jobs.

The emphasis throughout the course is on active participation by the student and on practical project work which allows students to see how their skills are developing, not only in centre exercises, but also in their place of work.

Completion of the Certificate in Learning & Development Practice provides the knowledge required for assessment for the new Associate professional level of CIPD membership. If students are able to demonstrate their certificate knowledge in the workplace through membership assessment (assessing workplace activities and behaviours), they will be awarded the new Associate professional level of membership with designatory letters.
