Creating your Personal Learning Plan

This guide is designed to help you understand the training that you are required to complete for your role. You will use this guide to help create your Personal Learning Plan.

Agreeing a Personal Learning Plan

Once you have agreed your role description with your line manager you need to create a plan for your own training called a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). This should be created and agreed in partnership with your Training Adviser. If you haven’t agreed a role description yet, speak with your line manager to agree one. Find out more about example role descriptions, or they can be purchased directly from Scout Store.

There are five steps to creating a Personal Learning Plan:

1. Identify the training that is relevant to your role.

2. Assess what learning you will need to complete.

3. Decide the validation methods that will be used to demonstrate your ability to put learning into practice in your role and the timeframe in which you expect to complete each criteria.

4. Meet and agree your plan with your Training Adviser.

5. Complete and review.

Step 1: Identifying the training that is relevant to your role

Use the minimum training requirements section below and the Module Matrix to identify which modules you are required to complete for your role.
Use your role description to identify any extra modules that you feel are relevant to your role, or that you would find interesting to complete
If you are changing roles from another role in Scouting, you can use the Change of
Role section to identify the modules that may require revalidating. If you have completed your training under the current Adult Training Scheme, it may not be necessary to revalidate certain modules if you have completed them previously.
