Does Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) Exist?

According to the ROLE survey carried out with BILD members in June-July last year, it does exist but not across all subjects or organisations. SRL is elusive but it does have recognisable characteristics. For example, employees may be able to identify their own learning needs and select learning tools to support them. They may work at their own pace and have access to external resources.

Learning and development experts Explosive Learning Solutions (ELS) based on Harwell Science and

Innovation Campus has received high recognition for its training expertise and named winner of the Best

Training Partnership Award at this year's Training Journal Awards.
