Individual learning plan
The individual learning plan is written at Gate 0 from the calibrated baseline, and updated at every gate. It drives Role foundations and records track mapping, adjustments, and the automation target.

3. Automation target
| Test engineering expected by role | Programme automation target | Rating at Gate 0 | Gate 3 condition met? | Gate 4 target met? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
4. Priority gaps
Choose the gaps that matter most for the role and the team in the next gate period. Use item ids from the instrument (Part A items 1 to 21, B items, C skills). Clinical risk management and information governance must meet expectations by Gate 2, so list them first if they are gaps.
| Id | Item | Gap now | Target by gate | Action (course, stretch task, shadowing, practice, mentoring) | Module | Owner | Due | How we will know | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual learning plan-1 | Role foundations / Health care foundations / M_ / L_ | ||||||||
| Individual learning plan-2 | |||||||||
| Individual learning plan-3 |
See the Role foundations practice guide for practice ideas for each skill and band dimension.
