The term "Training and Development" describes the intersection of adult education and training with individual and organisational development. The course has been designed to provide the cross-disciplinary expertise required by workplace trainers with system level responsibilities.

The aims of the course are: (i) to understand practical and theoretical frame works of workplace learning; (ii) to provide an understanding of local, national and global impacts on workplace training; (iii) to offer alternative philosophical approaches from which to critique current approaches; and (iv) to link training concerns with leadership and organisational development, and to facilitate the effectiveness of individual trainers in a workplace environment.
