An overview of the Standard
As far back as 2005
TrainerBase
has been asked "what do I need to know or do in order to be a competent,
commercially focused learning and development practitioner?" And for a
similar time the
TrainerBase has been contacted by purchasers of training, learning
and development service on a regular bases, wanting references,
recommendations and assurance of the competence of its members.
As a result of close to 3,000 hours of work by a group of experts in
learning and development and business, with over 200 years of experience
between them; TrainerBase has a
Standard.
The Standard
The
Standard
is a set of Principles:
to which a Learning and Development Practitioner commits and
by which their competence and behaviours are measured
in respect to Personal, Operational and Commercial
undertakings.
A development tool.
The
Standard for Learning and Development Practitioners is the
perfect tool for anyone looking a professional development to become a
competent, commercially focused learning and development practitioner.
The Standard provides a quantitative and qualitative framework to work
towards.

interested in finding out more about using the Standard as a professional
development tool ...
An accreditation
For learning and development practitioners that want to position
themselves apart from the rest, the Certified Learning Practitioner
accreditation is the unique and complete assessment of competence
against the Standard. The TrainerBase now recommends Certified Learning and Development
Practitioners.
The CLP accreditation 'evidences the application of knowledge and competence'
of a trainer, developer or adviser. Becoming accredited proves that a trainer
meets the Standard.

The Standard explained
Within the
Standard and in the following documentation, there are a number of
terms that are used to describe certain levels contained within the Standard.
These levels are the:
- Standard
- Principles
- Elements and
- Components.
The Standard is singular; there is only one: it is a set of Principles to
which a Learning Practitioner commits and by which their competence and
behaviours are measured in respect to Personal, Operational and Commercial
undertakings.
The Principles
There are 3 Principles which define the undertakings of a Learning
Practitioner:
- Personal
personal behaviours, learning and ethics
- Operational
products and services for which they get remunerated
- Commercial
business model and processes they run to support their operational
undertakings
Elements
There are 11 Elements which are the high level concepts within each of the
Principles and describe in general terms the activities that the Learning
Practitioner will engage in.
Components
The 35 Components are the details of specific actions taken by a Learning and Development
Practitioner that can be evidenced. When grouped together they form the building
blocks of evidence that firstly; an Element can be satisfied and then; the
Principle has been proven.
Whilst the above set of definitions of the different levels within the
Standard may seem complex, they provide a hierarchical rigour to a comprehensive
set of requirements that enables TrainerBase and others to recommend Learning
Practitioners. In real terms these building blocks form a structure that can be
quite simply stated as follows.
From the bottom up:
- Once all Components have been evidenced
an Element will have been satisfied.
- Once all Elements have been satisfied
the Principle will have been proven.
- When all Principles have being proven,
the Standard will have been met.
From the top down
- The Standard is met when the 3 Principles have been proven.
- A Principle has been proven when its Elements are satisfied.
- An Element is satisfied when the Components have been evidenced.
Remembering this hierarch will make comprehension of the accreditation
process straightforward.
