BTEC Level 5 Professional Certificate in Learning Practice Management
Those with ambition and the desire to develop professionally and commercially
understand that business management courses in their field are vital. Until now
learning practitioners have had to make do with more generic management courses
for human resources professionals which are not specifically tailored to
practice of
learning and development.
This gap in the training market has now been addressed with the new Edexcel
approved, BTEC Level 5 Professional Certificate in Learning Practice Management
from TrainerBase. A practical, comprehensive level 5
(HND/C equivalent) exam and assessment based qualification with 200 hours of
workshops and self learning.
This is the only qualification based on the “Standard for Learning
Practitioners” which was developed by a group of experts in learning and
development practice. This standard is a development and competence framework
that evidences the application of knowledge.
Who is it for?
This new qualification is relevant for a wide variety of learning
practitioners, including: freelance trainers, training organisation managers and
owners, internal trainers, training managers and line managers. It is focused on
learning practice and has a wide range of applications.

systems analyst and department manager at a software development house.
He is responsible for the induction and training of graduate
programmers. Whilst Simon believes he is capable of ‘educating’ his
staff, like many managers in his position he has no formal knowledge of
learning and development practice. By taking the Certificate in Learning
Practice Management, Simon will learn what his own training style is and
recognise the different ways his staff learn. This will make his
training more effective. Simon will also be able to write, deliver and
evaluate his training in line with the business needs of his
organisation. |

report on the business benefits of management programmes at all levels,
including senior director. As a result she will secure her place as the
preferred supplier of this type of training. |

More than training
TrainerBase has long been aware that being a ‘trainer’ is an over simplistic
term that does little to support the essential role of learning and development
within today’s modern knowledge based economy. Learning and development practice
is more than training. Learning and development practice is:
- the analysis and identification of knowledge, skills and behaviour
requirements within an organisational context relating to the aims and
objectives of an individual, team, department and organisation leading to
the creation, encouragement and management of environments where the
learning and behaviour change required will take place
Within the context of the above definition training may be a level 3*
activity but Learning and Development Practice Management is more than training.
*
Level 3 is indicative of a qualification at GCSE.
Level 5 is indicative of HND/C or first year degree
There are countless train the trainer courses available however CertLPM is a management
level training programme with a commercial focus specifically for learning
practitioners, that recognises the essential role of learning and development
practice in today’s knowledge based economy.
Learning and development practice is not just about delivering knowledge or
skills. For learning practitioners in the workplace, it is about understanding
how knowledge, skills and behaviour requirements relate to commercial objectives
at every level from the individual to the whole organisation. Furthermore, it is
about using that understanding to create effective learning and development
activities with measurable outcomes. This is management level activity. This
qualification offers Level 5 management training.
What will I gain
Using various tools including psychometric profiles, the BTEC Level 5
Professional Certificate in Learning Practice Management will first help you
understand more about yourself so that you can engage more effectively with
learners, clients, managers and senior directors. Then using this deeper
understanding you will work through units that cover design, environment,
content, delivery, business planning, marketing, selling, monitoring and assets
in learning and development. The whole focus is on learning and development
practice as a management activity. It provides the knowledge and skills for a
learning and development practitioner to:
- interact professionally with others
- devise and maintain their own continuing professional development
- consult at a senior level on knowledge, skills and behaviour
requirements
- create environments where learning and change happens
- argue the business case for learning and development
- maximise the use of assets for the benefit of individuals, teams,
departments and organisations
