All terminal (or course) objectives are written for learners whose professional role involves the design, selection, or management of human resource development programs. The primary role is that of a thoughtful evaluator of needs, programs, vendors, and implementation. This professional will often serve as a link between levels of the organization and between the organization and outside vendors.

Each of these objectives incorporates a series of specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to achieve these competencies. These enabling objectives are identified in the course notebook.
