your ideas on how you have developed or will develop your own skills as an
HRD professional.

on knowledge of relevant theories, concepts, and debates
- use the module materials in Unit 4: Learning and talent development in the workplace , Unit 5: The HRD professional and elsewhere, along with electronic library resources, to search for literature and ideas

- answer
both parts of the question

example, by excessive use of diagram labels or hyphenation. The reference
list is also to be excluded from the word count.

the word length.
You can find further guidance on all these areas in the MSc (HRM)
