Program Professional Framework
Mastering the Training Cycle
Program Overview
This advanced professional programme takes learning leaders through every stage of the training cycle and the strategic decisions that connect them. It covers aligning learning strategy and governance with organisational goals, training needs analysis, programme architecture, instructional design with ADDIE and SAM, materials development, facilitation, assessment, evaluation using the Kirkpatrick levels and Phillips ROI methodology, and management of the training function. A final applied research component asks participants to study and improve a real learning process, reflecting the role of learning in GCC workforce development and localisation agendas.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants complete an applied study of one training programme or learning process in their organisation: needs analysis evidence, a redesigned programme blueprint, an evaluation plan up to ROI level, and a governance and improvement proposal presented to a panel.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
