The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course in The Management of Training and Development Tasks, due to the role that training and development tasks should play in building capabilities and ensuring high effectiveness for the organization. Training is concerned with teaching people the skills and giving them the knowledge or behavior necessary to be able to carry out their responsibilities through the required standards; this process differs from the education process through which general knowledge about a specific subject is conveyed, because the focus is on the specific requirements of the job through the training process, while development means giving individuals the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to enable them to carry out greater and more demanding roles and responsibilities. At the present time, there is a special emphasis on teaching people how to develop themselves, an idea that should represent the basis of the performance management process as a whole. 

In addition, the program focuses on the alignment between training and development in the short and long term for businesses. The program also addresses the methods through which the return on investment on development, training and development policies is measured and business cases are evaluated to prioritize learning and develop a learning environment.
