Standard 5 Team Management and Development

This standard aims to ensure that everyone working for the training team has the:

• Opportunity to undertake continuous professional development
• Right level of subject matter knowledge and skills for the role they undertake
• Correct skills for designing, delivering, assessing and evaluating training solutions.

This standard also applies to contracted or seconded facilitators. 

Attaining a qualification reinforces the facilitator's credibility to design and deliver training and also offers the opportunity to learn additional skills.

Dedicated time should be allocated to a facilitator to carry out personal development activities, which can include:

• Attending courses
• Self-directed learning
• Preparing/setting up training environments for clinical or other systems
• Attending learning events
• Researching design and delivery methods e.g. testing software that could be used in the training materials development
• Using a new software application/system e.g. practicing using a new version of an office application.
