How to use this learning pathways guide
- Complete the assessment spreadsheet to identify your learning priorities.
- Record these in your performance and development plan and use SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to plan your development for the next year.
- Click through the options under 'Find your learning pathway' below to get suggestions for resources and activities as a starting point for learning.
Your own organisation may offer similar resources, so check for these first. You can also try looking at the levels above and below your current role. The suggestions build on skills and knowledge gained in previous levels.
You don’t need to complete all the activities listed to progress to the next level of competency.
- When you’re ready, revisit the assessment spreadsheet at any time to help track changes in your ability and confidence, or identify new areas of development.
