INTRODUCTION
When lectures are attended by an individual or any sort of learning classes is taken
by them in order to enhance knowledge and to get development over different academic
skills. With the help of this procedure, individuals get prospect to have various job
opportunity and to look after various challenges so that to achieve life time success.
This report is prepared in order to create critical reflection that how leaner is developed.
Along with this, all the way through which future challenges can be seen so that to
become successful person (Buckley, Doh and Benischke, 2017).
TASK 1
How a person developed as a learner
As in current world is full of competition, so to get success this is essential for each
and every individual to have development in their skills as in their own regular manner.
Learning classes are taken by people in a specific field so as to develop their abilities of
learning and to enhance their knowledge level. As a learner I have engaged myself in a
conglomerate institution in UK which is BUKS University. I have completed foundation
course of one year in knowledge and creativity. Communication skills are taken as an
essential part in learning within this college so for this all the instructors try to emphasis
on enhancing listening and verbal skills in a learner. Under this background teachers
are focusing on presenting theories with the help of general public and communicational
courses. They also deliver knowledge about public speaking procedure and their
mechanism. So after joining this study model, it helps me to recognise role of this
speaking habits in my actual life (Quinn and et. al., 2016). It assists the behaviour to be
followed in various situations. So for the purpose of developing communication skills the
instructor accompanied numerous activities and programs. For instance: in a working
business real life situation has been portrayed and accompanied with various roles
which are required to be performed by learners. These activities assisted me to develop
my communication skills in effective manner.
Therefore such activities are helpful in enhancing learning abilities in positive and
effective manner. As with communication skills, as in tenure of my foundation course I
put emphasis on my writing skills. Tutors gave numerous lessons and sessions for
providing ways that how to enhance written abilities and how to make proper sentences
which are free from any grammatical errors. Further they trained me about all the
1

elementary and essential concepts of sentence framing. This involves pronunciation
marks, grammar and many more. Along with this I have developed three main tenses
which are present, past and future tense. These tenses helped me to make correct
sentences and to enhance my reading writing and communication skills (Hanifi, Nasiri
and Aliasin, 2016).
Besides, in order to work in this organisation the person is required to be an early
adopter and creative. For this BUKS university has developed my knowledge of digital
technology so due to this I am able to make attractive and good presentations. I have
collected all the knowledge so that to show my creativeness to the business
organisation with whom I am going to work. It reflects life phases of numerous
entrepreneurs as respect in their family background and educational qualifications, their
real life experience and many more. The motive for this is to encourage us so that to
make us prepare for any difficult problems so that to deal with those difficulties in
effective manner. This is encouraging me so as to become a successful person in my
life and to get some good and dignified position at some renowned organisation.
TASK 2
Approaches for future challenges and expectations
As after completion of foundation course in BUKS University, I have grasped
knowledge of personal and professional learning. As in this background, personal
abilities include flexibility, technical skills, creativity, determination and many more.
Further in professional skills, they include ability to work under high pressure, decision
making, conflict resolution, adaptableness, inner motivation and many more. So these
abilities are helpful in handling difficult situation in business organisation in a
considerable manner. These abilities also renders creativeness in my thoughts and
working style so due to which I am able to find critical solution to any difficult problem
which is helpful for the business in enhancing their productivity and effectiveness. For
instance, if company is planning to introduce some alterations in their business
operations in order to enhance business performance, then within these conditions
being a leader I can encourage team member to accept changes. So under this I will
keep on telling benefits of these changes so that to assist business in getting success
(Mroz, 2018).

Besides this, my learnt skill made me to stay flexible during working conditions of
the business. My mentors made me understand about benefits of following ethical
behaviour within organisation and in personal life as well. They made understand about
the behaviour which should be shown to other when we are communicating to other
person in order to build strong inter personal relationships. With these procedures, I
may get opportunity to work in in renowned organisation and lead a team being team
leader so that to attain organisational aims and targets. On the other hand, teachers
built so many real life conditions when the person is required to frame decision as foe
benefit of business. Besides this they are framing decision as per the benefits of other
members also, as adverse decision may hamper the business in negative way. At last I
have learnt the process of taking quick decisions so as to provide advantages to owner
and employees as well. Through this process I understood that the way to become
successful manager and way to enhance own personal skills (Pinter, 2017).
CONCLUSION
From the above mentioned report it can be concluded that it is required for every
person to enhance their personal skills through knowledge in a sequential manner. For
this numerous learning classes are supposed to be taken related to academics and
professionalism. These classes help the individual in getting knowledge in some specific
field so that to establish themselves as a knowledgeable and skilled person ( Wallander
and Koot, 2016). These classes help to enhance personal and professional capabilities
so that to grab new opportunities to make shining career.
