They will provide meaningful feedback on individual practice whilst helping to reflect on strengths and development areas to improve overall capability and performance of your employees.
Your employees will have telephone or video calls every 6 weeks with a BPP Coach who will help your employees to consider how their learning has been applied and to agree development objectives.
Participants will be required to build a professional portfolio to showcase their capabilities that include how they have applied the tools and frameworks that they have learnt throughout the programme.
Peer networks
Your employees will have access to BPP’s virtual community, with networking opportunities that attract a diverse mix of professionals.
Professional workshops
BPP will help your employees to further embed and reflect on their newly developed knowledge and skills with a host of dynamic workshops. These sessions are run by professional facilitators and are designed to be fun, interactive and engaging. There are six professional workshops for this programme which align with all six modules to ensure learning is being applied and bolstered with a network of live examples across various industries.
