Coming to the end of a training event is a bit like coming to the end of a project. Just as with a project time needs to be spent at the end of any training event looking back at what happened before we can go forward to the future. This process of stopping, and taking stock of what has happened before moving forward, is a well-documented approach to learning called the learning cycle. If the steps are followed in sequence the desired learning will be the result and this will help you ensure that you continue to develop your professional competence.
You start the training activity by drawing a comparison between the end of a learning event and of a project; both benefit from a period of review, regardless of the outcome. You introduce the participants to the concept of the learning cycle and describe how it can be applied to a variety of experiences. The participants then take part in three exercises. In the first they rate their current level of competency as project managers. In the second they generate ideas for a number of opportunities they could use to develop their skills. In the third they develop an action plan to put their ideas into practical action. The training activity closes with a celebration that all the events that have been successfully completed.
Who is it for: This training resource is intended for use by trainers to enable participants to rate their progress in developing the competencies needed to be effective project managers.

Purpose: This training resource is intended for use by trainers at the end of any training event that aims to improve the knowledge and skills of project managers. It can be easily adapted to suit the end of other types of development activity. For this you will need to review the competencies and substitute a set that are more appropriate for another target audience.
