For the past couple of years I have been designing and delivering training programmes without any formal training qualifications (apart from NLP Practitioner). I seem to have been doing OK - maybe I was lucky. Feedback has been positive and we even measured good ROI.
However when I read this article from Training Zone I got a bit concerned. I just didn't realise what a plethora of training related qualifications there are out there. Here are some of them:
- CIPD Certificate in Training Practice
- ITOL Certificate, Advanced Certificate & Diploma in Training & Occupational Learning
- Doctorates in Education & Training
- Masters Degree in Learning, Education and Training
- Certificate in Post Compulsory Education & Training
.....and so the list goes on.
Most of my learning has definitely come 'on the job' and it has been more about understanding the business and then delivering development activity that supports it.
I would be interested to know your views on this but I suspect the answer is a mixture of some academia layered with 'hands on' practice - I guess that's a blended approach with lots action learning thrown in to the pot!
