APPENDIX 4: Recommended Learning for Leadership and Management Training

The table below shows the learning opportunities from the Leadership and Management Training that are most relevant for each role. This can be used as a guide to help learners when they are beginning their training to develop their Personal Learning Plan.

It's important to remember that these recommendations should only be used as guidance. The learning an individual undertakes should be based on the needs of the learner depending on their agreed role description and taking into account any prior learning.
