Advanced Diploma in Learning and Development

Congratulations!

If you are reading this, then you are a step closer to a world- class program. We felt the need to create a program which acts as a bridge for the people who are keen to make a transition into the world of Learning and Development (L&D) and for those people who are keen to enhance their skills and get certified, as in an integrated world economy you need a broader global perspective to help yourself secure a competitive advantage.

At Sequel Academy’s Advanced Diploma in Learning and Development program in collaboration with ITOL, UK you’ll learn from best in the field faculty who are deeply engaged with organizations across the globe.

The pedagogy is a blended learning approach, which ensures a right mix of classroom interaction, online modules and live project work, participants interact closely with the faculty and other senior executives who represent diverse companies from around the world. Lectures, business simulations, and small group discussions foster collaboration with peers from various functions, industries, and cultural backgrounds.

This program will keep you engaged and will encourage you to examine your approach to L&D by looking within: at personal milestones, challenges, and triumphs. As you step back from your day-to-day routine at the office, you’ll have the chance to reflect on where you’ve been and where you want to take your career.

This introspection is part of the growth process. It’s one of the reasons why many participants call ADLD program a life-changing experience.

I am keen to get you on board in this program and wish you happy learning!

In the spirit of making the difference!

Best,
