CD-M1. SUPPORTING INDIVIDUAL LEARNING THROUGH COACHING & MENTORING
       [28 hours / 6 credits]

     Research informs us that formal learning events are only part of an effective L&D strategy. Of
     equal importance are more informal learning opportunities, in the workplace, often supported
     through a coaching or mentoring relationship. This module enables L&D professionals to develop
     the knowledge and skills required to be able to provide basic coaching and mentoring support
     themselves, as well as being able to support line-managers in coaching and mentoring team
     members. The module begins with an introduction to the nature, purpose and practice of both
     coaching and mentoring, including the potential benefits to be gained by both parties. It continues
     with a practical exploration of some models and techniques and requires learners to demonstrate
     these within a coaching or mentoring conversation. Finally learners will consider how, and the
     extent to which, coaching and mentoring activity should be recorded and effective formats for
     doing this.

     This module will cover the following:
     • The nature, purpose and practice of coaching

CD-M2. CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROCESS OF JOB ANALYSIS
            [15 hours / 3 credits]

           The overall focus of this unit is to develop our leaders’ understanding of the principles and practice
           of job analysis and job design. The unit content is designed as an introduction to the knowledge
           and skills required in the use of a number of methods of conducting job analysis. Specifically, the
           unit will enable our leaders to articulate the purpose of disaggregating jobs into component parts,
           that is, job analysis, to provide the foundation for a number of broader human resources (HR)
           practices. In particular, the unit focuses on the principles of job design and the use of job analysis
           data in the practice of job design. It is also designed to cover additional ways job analysis is used,
           including but not limited to recruitment and selection, job evaluation and equal pay. Learners will
           develop a better understanding of how job analysis and design fits within the broader professional
           area of organisation design.

          This module will cover the following:
          • The principles, purposes and practice of job analysis
          • Effective contribution to the process of job analysis
