Learning and Development Practitioner Level 3 has been designed and written to support those studying for the Level 3 Learning and Development Practitioner Apprenticeship or the CIPD Level 3 Diplomas and similar qualifications. The book covers the theories and hypotheses covered in the syllabus of the qualifications and explains them in a plain and straightforward manner. The book is designed to match the modules of study in the apprenticeship standard and make selective study very straightforward. It is intended that this book will become a valuable point of reference, not only whilst studying for an apprenticeship, but also afterwards, with many areas of support and guidance appropriate and relevant to a career in Learning and Development after the qualification has been achieved.
