It is organised into two parts: Core Skills training, applicable across the Profession, and Role-Specific Training.

70:20:10 Model for Learning and Development
When considering the training you want to complete, make use of the training paths curriculum to understand the available training that will most-benefit your role. As you choose which training courses will meet your development needs, be sure to bear in mind the 70:20:10 model for how we learn effectively - remember that learning and development is not just about formal training courses but it is about learning from others and putting it all into practice through projects and roles. Think about the end-to-end journey as you plan your learning and development with your line manager, and consider what you need to do to ensure successful application of formal training courses.
For more information about the successful consideration and implementation of the 70:20:10 model, read this report by DeakinPrime.
