The L&D process aims to optimise knowledge transfer and learning integration in your organisation. It is important to understand the objectives in each of the L&D stages.
To view your courses and their respective statuses, navigate to Training and click See All.
Before training
As you explore courses and activities you're interested in, bear in mind that L&D serves both for your personal and professional development. Select courses and activities aligned to your role as well as BUK's business goals.
Selecting a course
You can choose from the recommended courses in the library. These courses and activities have been shortlisted by your administrator based on the learning outcomes offered by the course as well as feedback from your colleagues who have undertaken the course.
Go to Browsing the Library to learn about how to use search, apply for a course or save courses you're interested in.
When you apply for a course from the library, all the relevant course details have been filled out, so you can state your objectives in the CPD form and submit to your line manager or Community Engagement Officer. Once submitted, your application automatically changes status to Awaiting LM Approval for L&D courses or Awaiting CE Approval for community engagement activities. L&D courses require budget approval after LM approval; you will be notified when your application is approved or rejected.
You can also add new courses and activities. Remember that you need to provide the course details as this will be submitted to your administrator before it goes through your LM or CE Officer approval.
Tip
Notice that there are suggested courses as you type the course title. This means that there are similar courses already in the library that's been recommended for you. If you select from this list, the Toolkit pre-populates the course details, saving you time from manual entry and from awaiting admin review.
Once submitted, your application automatically changes status to Awaiting Admin Approval. You will be notified when the course is reviewed by your administrator and goes to LM (Line Manager) or CE Approval.
During training
After the approval process, your application will automatically change status to Ongoing. You will receive a notification that you can start your L&D.
To learn more about completing an ongoing course, go to Ongoing Course Taking.
After training
After you have completed the course, you are required to complete the post-training review.
- You will be asked to rate (with a five-star rating system) and provide an optional review of the completed course or activity.
- You are also required to complete the post-training review form (CPD Form 4). In this state, the status of your L&D is Completed - PTR Open.
- Once you have submitted your PTR for L&D course, the status becomes PTR Submitted.
- Your line manager will add the integration plan for your L&D course. The status then becomes PTR Signed Off. Alternatively, your line manager can recommend further review. If the course is development in current role, you may have to complete a 3-month PTR; development in future role may further require 6-month PTR.
- For CE activity, the status becomes PTR Signed Off. No further review is required after this.
