Training Systems Design for Human Resource Development (HRD)
Corporate training is a fast developing field that is more and more recognised as a crucial function for Human Resource Development. Profit as well as non-profit organisations show increasing dynamics in their structure and management procedures. Jobs tend to become more and more knowledge intensive. Organisations develop into learning organisations where training becomes an integral part of day-to-day job performance. At the same time course-based training remains in place for specific training needs. The specialisation 'Training Systems Design for Human Resource Development (HRD)' prepares training professionals for change management situations by high-level training.
A major characteristic of this specialisation is that it provides both breadth by cutting through all design levels from organisation and management to curriculum, instruction, instrumentation, and evaluation, as well as depth by the up-to-date scientifically-based content of the courses from the perspective of organisational development theories.
The elective courses for this specialisation are selected from the set of HRD-related courses that are offered in the specialisations 'Organisation and Management' 'Curriculum', 'Instruction', 'Instrumentation', and 'Evaluation'.
