Professional Training

The aim of the workshop is to take delegates through an experiential learning process at the end of which they will have prepared a full training session, part of which they will deliver to a small group. The course will provide delegates with a grounding in the principles of professional training, including theories and definitions of training; an understanding of the theories, competencies, and skills associated with different learning styles; effective design and delivery methods including ice-breakers, role-play, group work, feedback, facilitation, and coaching to enhance learning and maximize transference back to the workplace. During the course, participants will have the opportunity to train others within the group, and to work on their own training methods.
