This is perfect for those studying either an HR qualification with L&D modules or a specific L&D qualification to use as a reference to complement in class learning. It is also useful to those new to a L&D role as it sets out what is expected of an L&D role and how to meet those expectations and how it fits in with the wider ethos of HR and the workplace in general.

This is a concise guide to Learning and Development principles and techniques. It belongs on any Human Resource Professional's bookshelf. The writing is conversational, the layout easy to navigate, and the material easy to comprehend. I read this on Kindle, and I missed the charts and graphs - too small to be read easily.

I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

It's well explained, I love how it is organized and the activities.
Highly recommended!
