Organisational, Professional and Academic Capability PDP3

Personal Development Plan for:- Elizabeth Croft

Tutor:- Aarti Vyas-Brannick Course:-BAAB

Date of Submission:- 14TH May 2007 Tutor Approved YES/NO/ (if no see attached sheet) A. LEARNING CAPABILITY The skill I developed most in the Learning Capability quadrant was my learning profile.
