and achievements. The current assignment will explain personal learning & development

MAIN BODY
1.1 Identification and reflection on my approach to personal learning & development
Personal learning and growth play crucial role in life of individual person, because it
helps to made them capable to work in excellent manner currently and in the future by using
those skills which they may learn through overall process of personal development and
learnedness (Wang and et.al., 2020). Regarding this procedure, I prefer to utilize specific and
effective approach, which is offline and online training workshops. It made me able to
accomplish my work on time and enable to obtain desire outcomes, which is also essential for
me while I am conducting activities related to professional or academic field (Nair and et.al.,
2020). Online training workshop considered as the most trending skills development approaches
in today's period, because due to lock-down individual may unable to develop competencies by
going out of home, so they prefer to utilize internet and learn through it by taking part in online
classes or sessions where skilled, experienced and knowledgable persons may ready to share
their experience and teach how to develop particular skill.
Furthermore, offline training is a subpart of chosen approach that define procedure of
taking classes at specific location where I reach and then communicate with my tutor face to
face. This method help me a lot in term of achieving strategic aims whether it relate to academic
or professional profession.
1.2 Identification of transferable skills I have already developed by attending this module
During this module, I had developed set of transferable competencies that enable me to
interact with other people who attempt to accomplish similar task but work separately and allow
to accomplish my investigation regarding particular subject that is too important for me to do so
in systematic way. In term of transferable skills I had gained knowledge in form of skills

development and that are researching, written, vocabulary, grammar, communication and self-
confidence skills. It can be said that transferable skills refer to set of key competencies and
capabilities that are beneficial and relevant across varied areas of individual life such as
professionally, academically and personally (Hill and et.al., 2020). It also refers to those that
applicant develops as their growth through education, employment and training.
Communication skill that I have already developed by attending current module will help in my
future success and progress in the context of professional field. It enables me to interact with
other people in influencing manner. Just like this, research skill also support to conduct
investigation about any subject, for which I work hard and effort to meet set aims and objectives
of research. Written skills contribute to present appropriate report which define the accurate
data and information that I collect through effective research. Vocabulary and grammar also
assist in several manners as it made me capable to understand written language clearly without
any misunderstanding. This module help in term of boosting my self-confidence level that drive
my attention towards aims setting and achievements.
1.3 Skill I would like to develop during my academic studies, personal life and workplace
Personal and professional as well as academic life may give several opportunities to
individual learner to develop specific or combine of skills, which they may utilize currently and
further, in order to reach at expected results. Along with above skills, I will work hard, but still
require developing more that also provide unexpected and excellent benefits to me. I would
prefer to develop decision-making skill during my workplace and personal life as well as
academic studies. It made me capable to choose a good option out of alternatives that accessible
in bulk. It enables me to obtain desires outcomes, without making major mistakes. Along with
this, I would also seek to develop effective problem solving skill that help me a lot. It is one of
those analytical procedures that mostly utilized to determine possible solutions regarding specific
situation that made individual capable to solve issues and deal with current circumstance
(Klegeris, 2020). I also prefer to develop ICTs competence, which play significant role in
continuous progress of individual when they work at workplace or academic field. With this
ability, I will use advanced technologies to complete my work, without wasting too much time
on it because of inability to utilize any technology or software. Team working, and group
presentation are also included in category of list which I tend to develop in the future. These are
one of those skills that I tend to develop in effective manner, just to make assure that I will never

forget or losses opportunities which enable me to grow and obtain unpredicted success whether it
in field of academic or professional. While doing work in a team I will reach at unexpected
outcomes, which is quite beneficial for me as well as other members who also perform in a group
just to achieve common goals.
