?    Use suitable methods to assess the outcomes of a personal development plan against personal work objectives. (A.C 3-2)

?    Evaluate the impact of own learning against the achievement of strategic goals.(A.C 3-3)

Assessment:
?    Assessment for this unit needs to be evidenced through a personal development plan that is monitored throughout the programme. It is important that learners evaluate their current skills using a skills audit to identify and inform their preferred learning style. The personal development plan needs to demonstrate learner ability to reflect on their learning and development needs, identify target dates for review, and show how their needs have been met

?    For AC 1.1 and 1.2, learners need to use appropriate methods to evaluate personal skills and assess the professional skills needed for effective leadership and management. To meet the strategic goals and direction of the organisation, learners need to link their evaluation to leadership requirements for a specific goal.

?    For AC2.1, learners will need to demonstrate they can conduct a skills audit, to evaluate current and future leadership requirements. Learners need to benchmark against suitable criteria such as National Occupational Standards for Management and Leadership. This can help inform their preferred learning style for AC2.2.

?    For AC 3.1 and 3.2, learners will construct a personal development plan using the information from their skills audit. They can use a standard template or construct their own plan, but it must include SMART objectives and an identification of the resources needed to achieve the objectives, as well as assessing the outcomes against personal work objectives. To be of value, the plan needs to be implemented for at least six months in order for learners to evaluate the impact of their learning against the achievement of strategic goals for AC3.3.
