Learning and Development Methods (Advanced)

Learn how to choose and apply the most appropriate learning and development methods in your organisation.

Are you responsible for the learning and development of employees yet have no idea how to approach it? Have you seen first-hand how training isn’t always the best option? You are not alone! Welcome to my course Learning and Development Methods – deciphering the practice of L&D.

My name is Irina Ketkin and I have been an L&D practitioner since 2011.

This course is part of a series in Advanced Learning and Development and it focuses on a wide range of methods L&D practitioners can use to help their organisations.

This course is for anyone responsible for developing other people in the context of an organisation but isn’t sure what’s the best way to approach it and how to make it happen. If you are an HR expert or L&D practitioner, people manager, freelance trainer, coach or mentor, then this course is for you.

Explore learning and development like never before with:

3.5 hours of video content
15 articles
21 downloadable resources and workbooks

The course focuses on 11 main methods by breaking each of them into 4 distinct parts: what it is, pros and cons, how to apply it and tips for L&D. The methods are:

Classroom Training
On-the-job Learning
eLearning
Flipped Classroom
Coaching
Mentoring
Personal Development Plans
Job Rotation
Social Learning
Experiential Learning
Blended Learning

By the end of it you will be able to distinguish among a wide range of L&D methods, choose the most appropriate one for your situation and devise a practical plan on how to launch it in your organisation. And for extra confidence, each method I discuss includes a section with tips for L&D practitioners.

You should know that this course isn’t meant to be watched from beginning to end. It should be used more like a dictionary – just look up the things you are interested in, then apply it in the real-world and come back anytime you want to learn more.

I look forward to seeing you in the course.
