Assignment Brief and Guidance
Assignment 1: You have been asked to support your training and development manager with the planning and
implementation of a professional development event targeted at internal employees within the organisation that

you work in.
The training event is scheduled over a four –days (4) period at a nearby residential centre, and will include a number
of workshops, coaching sessions and team-building activities. The centre requires a schedule of the types of
activities proposed so that plans can be finalised. In addition, any guest speakers or motivational coaches will also
require a minimum of three weeks’ notice for all bookings.
You have also been asked to design and deliver a workshop as part of the training event based on the dynamics of
team working.
Working in small groups (3–4 per group):
1. Produce a professional schedule (using project management software) that identifies planning and
resourcing prior to the four-day event. In addition, design a training pack to include a range of activities,
seminars, workshops, team-building activities and break-out sessions. It is expected that 40 employees will
attend the event. There is a large auditorium that will seat 60, and the outdoor centre can accommodate 15
at any one time for activities. In addition, there are three break-out rooms, one with computers for up to 20
and two other seminar rooms that seat up to 30.
2. Design ten minutes workshop session based on ‘team dynamics’ to include a presentation, interactive links
to suitable sites and an activity sheet that will require delegates to take part in some form of team-building
task.
Working individually:
3. Following the event, your training and development manager has asked you to provide some feedback.
Produce a written evaluation of the effectiveness and application of interpersonal skills during the design
and delivery process. You should also include an evaluation of your performance in this project and your
contribution to the team you worked in.
4. Produce a report discussing problem-solving and its importance in planning and running an event. Your
report should include a discussion of various problem-solving techniques and justify the solution
methodologies used during your project. You should also include a critique of the application of critical
reasoning and your experiences of it.
Assignment 2: There is no generic scenario/case study for this unit, but there are specific tasks to be completed.

Students will examine different methods of learning, which will help them to identify their own preferred style of
learning. They will use this information as a basis for writing an essay about learning styles, self-managed learning,
the role of lifelong learning and, aspects of time management.
Students will also compile a personal portfolio of information about themselves, which will help them to identify
and achieve their personal goals.
You will be assessed on the quality of the information provided in this assignment. You should identify the above
issues clearly and present professionally in a report format. Yourself evaluation should be ‘SMART’ than a mere
description. You may analyse qualities of existing business entrepreneurs for you to carry out the self-evaluation.
Task
Discuss the learning styles which can be implemented to overcome the problems you have identified. You should
seek to communicate this information in an appropriate manner at various levels – strategic, tactical and operational
Identify one work based problem, either where you work now or where you intend to work in the future,
where the solution requires individual training or qualifications.
Your PDP should identify your short term objectives and long term objectives, together with the processes and
activities required to implement your development plan.
