Resourcing Talent (6 credits)
- Organisational success depends on having the right skill mix. This unit provides an introduction to the resourcing and talent planning process.

You will also learn about the relationship between recruitment and selection by identifying the key stages in each separate but related process.
Developing Yourself as an Effective HR/L&D Practitioner (4 credits)
- This unit is designed to enable you to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviour required of a professional practitioner. It will enable you to develop a personal development plan, following a self-assessment of learning and development needs that meets your personal and professional requirements.
Delivering Learning and Development Activities (6 credits)
- This unit will provide the knowledge and skills required to deliver planned L&D activities, for example one-to-one, small group and large group sessions. The need for learning and development arises for diverse reasons, including both individual self-assessment and organisational assessment. A learning and development needs analysis may identify organisational challenges or problems affecting employees, for example, major organisational change, the introduction of new operations or systems and/or the maintenance of existing operations or systems.

This unit aims to introduce a number of aspects of this task and to provide an introduction to employment law within the context of employee relations. It starts with an explanation of the employment relationship and the key parties that are involved within it. It then focuses on different aspects of HR activity, looking at good practice and legal requirements within each activity.
Supporting Change within Organisations (3 credits)
- This unit covers the main factors that need to be considered in the change process and will enable you to understand why organisations need to change with reference to key internal and external factors. Change concepts and different ways of managing change will be introduced.
