About this course
Learning and Development Strategy gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of aligning L&D strategy with business goals and identifying organisational learning needs, then builds the skills to apply blended, digital and on-the-job delivery, evaluating learning programmes and L&D governance and budgets in real work. HR courses on strategy, talent, reward, performance and workforce planning, including AI and skills-based models.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
HR managers, business partners, talent and L&D specialists, and line managers who lead people. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
