Step 2 
Set a SMART (specific, measurable, agreed, realistic and time-bounded) 
learning 
objective
: what you want to be able to do or do better, and in what timescale. 
Step 3 
Determine how you will move towards your objective: 

Research
relevant learning resources and opportunities 

Evaluate
relevant learning resources and opportunities for suitability, attainability 
and cost effectiveness 

Secure 
any 
support or authorisation
required from your manager or training 
development 
Step 4 
Formulate a comprehensive and specific action plan, including: 

The 
SMART 
objective 

The learning approaches you will use, described as 
specific actions
to take. (Ask 
a colleague to provide feedback; watch a training video; enrol in a course.) Each 
action should have a 
realistic timescale
or schedule for completion.

A 
monitoring and review plan
. Precisely how and when (or how often) will you 
assess your progress and performance against your objectives? (Seek feedback? 
review results? pass an end of course test?) 
Step 5 
Secure agreement to your action plan (if required to mobilise organisational support or 
resources). 
Step 6 
Implement 
your action plan. 
Make sure you don't neglect your study and revision in what may appear to be 'soft' syllabus topics, such 
as the preparation of a PDP. 
Part of performance objective PO3 of your Practical Experience Requirement on strategy and innovation 
indicates that you should ‘plan, identify and monitor appropriate personal targets and standards of 
delivery so that they meet the wider departmental and strategic objectives of your organisation’. You 
can apply the knowledge that you have learnt from this section to help fulfil this requirement.
