Bradfield Learning & Development
Program overview
The CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in Organisational Learning and Development builds on the Level 3 Foundation Certificate and expands your independent practice so you can evolve into a learning and development leader or manager. You analyse information to inform organisational learning and its future capability, and create learning environments that help employees develop continuously, generating motivation and value through impactful learning.
iLead delivers this diploma with Bradfield Learning & Development, a CIPD approved centre since 1992. The programme runs as Virtual Instructor-Led Training (V-ILT): 26 live online evening units from 16:00 to 20:00 KSA time in three blocks, opened by an induction session, with 175 guided learning hours in total. Expect at least two hours of self-study for every hour of tutor-led learning.
