The Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) at Levels 3 and 4 in Learning and Development are suitable for people in a training or learning development role who are working with individuals or groups of learners.
They include a wide choice of optional Units which allow candidates to develop planning, design, delivery, assessment and evaluation skills.
Level 3 candidates would be expected to have responsibility for planning, delivering and evaluating training. Whereas Level 4 is aimed at senior trainers, or training co-ordinators/managers who plan, deliver and evaluate programmes and/or have some management responsibility for others.
As these are work-based qualifications candidates should be working in a training role to ensure they are able to generate the required work-based evidence.
The qualification in Learning & Development can be offered as standalone units to enable individuals to demonstrate continuous professional development or taken as a group award to achieve either the Level 3 or Level 4 in Learning and Development.
The following provides an overview of units that can be undertaken individually for continuous professional development. Each unit is costed at £280 if taken individually.
