About the role
A learning and development specialist finds out what staff need to learn, designs programmes, delivers or arranges training and checks whether it made a difference at work. The panel is deciding whether you can link training to business results, not just run courses.
How to prepare
- Prepare a programme you designed, from needs analysis through to evaluation.
- Be ready to show how you measured impact beyond attendance and feedback forms.
- Think through how you train staff spread across offices with poor internet.
- Practise a short facilitation piece in case you are asked to deliver one.
- Know how you get managers to support their teams in applying what they learned.
Common mistakes
- Treating training as the answer to every performance problem.
- Measuring success only by how many people attended.
- Giving a dull, lecture style example when the role needs engaging delivery.
