A programme for facilitators with considerable experience who want to further develop their skills, insight, awareness, theoretical understanding and strengthen core facilitation competencies.
This is an advanced course for professionals who have undertaken some groupwork training. Your work may be as a team coach, therapist, psychologist, counsellor, psychotherapist, consultant or human relations professional in other settings such as probation, education or health where you are regularly working with groups and teams.
You are likely to have experience as a trainer, subject specialist and also some experience of ‘stepping away’ from those roles to more fully take up the facilitator role in which you use process skills and facilitation expertise to help create an environment so that the group or team is able to learn, grow, develop and reach their goals.
