Training Program on Certified Learning and Development Manager

Course Description

What makes a good Learning and Development Manager? The world over, global businesses, companies, academic institutions, and multi-national organizations spend billions on training programs that do not yield a profit. This happens simply because most corporations fall on the receiving end of what appear to be ‘great training programs’. At Phoenix Center for Policy, Research and Training, we work earnestly to design specialized training courses that cater to the characteristic training needs of our participants, that arise from behavioural and skill surveys that we conduct in predefined focus areas. It is very important to us to curate the exact formula for success that will bring our learners lasting impact in their professional and personal growth, thereby contributing more in value and revenue to their own organizations.

What is the role of a Learning and Development manager? The Learning and Development function sits astutely under the vast umbrella of Human Resources. It is often the custodian of the organizational culture. The culture of any company shapes the way for its growth and dictates behaviours right from the leadership to apprenticeship. These findings drew our attention to the fact that the role of a learning and development manager is of pivotal importance. Hence, Phoenix Center for Policy, Research and Training has invested a great amount of time and research in understanding what works and what doesn’t when it comes to influencing human behaviour at the workplace, universally. We have arrived at a well-tried and tested methodology that uses neuro-linguistic programming and general behavioural analysis to help employees become productive. It is true that not everyone possesses the same amount of skill, but who is to say that they are not coachable!

What are the competencies required for a Learning and Development Manager? The Learning and Development sphere is a vast and continuous space of learning momentum that the manager must guide, sync, and utilize strategically to fuel a positive yield for the organization. There is no merit in possessing such a department in-house otherwise. This certification course will get you ready for the gigantic yet privileged opportunity of directing, planning, budgeting, and managing the Learning and Development function for any organization. This course is apt for you, especially if your interests and aptitude so far has indicated that this is a function that you can take up as an independent training management consultant as well.

This training course will therefore empower you to lead the learning arenas of your organization with finesse and mature leadership. Through this certification course you will discover advanced behavioural learning techniques to role-model unique training and equip junior and budding managers in your department as well. You will acquire abilities to showcase your coaching and mentorship skills through several critical interactions with your participants, colleagues, and stakeholders.
