Pretty good introductory course on Learning and Development. All the concepts are explained very clearly. Knowledge gained is impressive. I specially liked the Role of L&D in Organisations section as this is the foundation knowledge needed by me to understand what L&D actually does in an organisation. Thanks to the instructor for giving us such an excellent introduction course.

This course is designed for a fundamental introduction into the field of L&A and give you an overview of the most important aspects. Its structured and simplistic (borderline "monotone", so dont expect "infotainment" ;D)
