(2): Personal Learning Plan
The aim of this module is to create a plan for an individual's learning based on the requirements of the role and taking into account the individual's needs.
This module consists of creating a plan to meet the training requirements of the role, taking into account existing knowledge and skills. This must be completed within five months of gaining the provisional appointment and reviewed every six months up until completion of the Wood Badge.
A training adviser works with the volunteer to agree a Personal Learning Plan, which will enable the learner to receive the most effective and efficient learning for them. It will also mean they get the most out of the scheme so they will be more comfortable and effective in their role.
Although the parts of Getting Started can be completed in any order, it may be helpful for the learner to complete the Personal Learning Plan as the first step, particularly when changing roles. This means that they will have a clear idea of the process from the outset and the training adviser will be able to advise on the best plan from an early stage.
