Description

Course aims

Personal development happens throughout your life. At work, it starts with agreeing on your aims and objectives and thinking about your strengths and development needs. You then set goals so that you can meet your objectives and make the most of your talent.

Learning outcomes

On completion of this online Your Personal Development training course, you will have an improved understanding of the following:

  • Skills, knowledge and competence,
  • Developing a personal development plan (PDP),
  • Contributing to your PDP,
  • Supervision and appraisal,
  • Agreeing your objectives,
  • Expanding your knowledge, skills and understanding,
  • Learning and development,
  • Reflection as a form of learning,
  • Receiving feedback, and
  • Continuing your learning.

What is “your personal development”?

A personal development plan (PDP) is an action plan that helps you get organised, identifies learning and development needs to help you do your job better or help in your career, and then tracks progress. Personal development planning is the process of creating an action plan based on awareness, values, reflection, goal-setting and planning for personal development within the context of a career, education, relationship or for self-improvement.

Why is this online Your Personal Development training course important?

For those new to health and social care, the Care Certificate is the beginning of your learning and will usually form part of your induction. All good employers will want to develop their workers further over time. A development plan to achieve this might be agreed during your induction period or a review at a later point.

As a first step, you will agree with your employer how you are going to complete the Care Certificate, including how long it (and any other induction training) will take. Then, as you continue to work in health and social care, it will be vital that you develop your skills and abilities. This may involve further training, specialist courses and qualifications. Your employer will know what they expect from you and will help you set targets and find the learning you need, and so will create your PDP with you. The majority of PDPs cover 12 months, and should, therefore, be updated and renewed each year.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
