Overview
This course is intended for those who wish to develop their knowledge and competence in the theory and practice of management and leadership in international training and educational resources.
This course has been designed to meet the educational needs of training professionals and human resource development managers.

- enable students to consolidate or extend their specialist professional competence as practitioners in fields of practice relating to human resources development
- strengthen students' understanding of the relevant theoretical underpinning, particularly in relation to knowledge about adult learning and development
