Course description
CIPD research indicates that knowledge of adult learning theories amongst L&D practitioners is low. This has meant that there has been missed opportunities in the design and delivery of learning interventions.
This evidence-based course offers a starting point for practitioners to explore the facts relating to how people learn. It investigates and compares different learning theories and provides an overview of how this applies to the design and delivery of learning interventions.
Learners will explore some of the main concepts and philosophical approaches to learning. It also demonstrates how the CIPD created their learning philosophy.
Designed by leading L&D professional Fiona McBride, it will share a wealth of evidence and showcase the best of online design in learning.
All CIPD Learning courses will automatically provide you with access to the CIPD Learning Hub, our online learning platform, for 24 months.
The hub will house your course content, as well as useful resources, tools, and a community of professionals that you can tap into to support your learning and continual development.
