Excel-Driven Training Course

Reviewing Performance • Creating • Monitoring • Maintaining • Updating

Professional Development Plans (PDPs) provide a planning process that identifies both professional development goals and career objectives. PDP’s can also serve as a valuable tool to facilitate communication between teams, individuals and their managers.

Everyone can benefit from using a PDP to reflect on strengths and weaknesses in the workplace and work towards goals to achieve peak performance.

This one day training course is designed to give attendees experience in creating, monitoring and updating Personal Development Plans in Excel. Attendees will use Excel’s built in tools and functions to create a fully working personal development plan that is easy to use and share with others.  At the end of the course you will have completed an interactive dashboard to show requirements of staff and resources required.

All attendees will receive highly useful course notes to refer back to at any time, and have a chance to engage in an informative Q&A on the day.
