Create a 12-month personal learning plan

Use this guide when you have a larger goal, such as changing career, gaining a qualification or becoming confident in a new skill, and want to make steady progress over a year. Have a notebook or spreadsheet and your calendar ready.

Step by step

1. Write your year goal

   Describe what you want to be able to do in 12 months in one or two sentences. Make it specific enough that you will know whether you have achieved it. Add a sentence about why it matters to you, as this helps on low-motivation days.
