The BILD and The Training Foundation complete the UK's most extensive survey of qualified learning and development practitioners
The British Institute for Learning & Development (the BILD) and The Training Foundation have collaborated to complete what is believed to be the UK's most extensive survey of qualified L&D practitioners.
The Report consolidates completed responses from 726 learning and development (L&D) practitioners who achieved a TAP qualification between September 2007 and January 2009. Respondents work in 379 different public and private sector organisations. BILD Chairman Jack Wills commented: "I am very pleased to be introducing the first Research Report in the British Institute for Learning & Development's Skills & Qualifications in the Workplace programme. As is well known, the most important factor in achieving sustainable learning transfer is the skill of the learning facilitator, so it is highly appropriate that this Report throws a spotlight on exactly that issue. The Report is timely: in this challenging economic period employers look for assurance of quality and value in all areas of the organisation and the L&D function is of course no exception."
