Facilitation Training Programmes

Facilitator Training Programmes

Introduction and overview

The use of a collaborative approach is widely recognised as being the most effective way of doing many things in business including ... encouraging participation, gaining consensus, generating new ideas, gathering information, making decisions and planning.

In line with this, there is an increased need for skilled facilitators who can set up and manage collaborative and participative sessions.

Designed and delivered by highly experienced facilitators, our Training Programmes enable …

New facilitators to quickly build their facilitation expertise
Experienced facilitators to upgrade or enhance their skills

Our Training Programmes

We provide 2 facilitator training programmes.

1. The Foundation Facilitation Skills Programme

Designed for people who have little or no facilitation experience, this one-day foundation course provides them with all of the fundamental facilitation skills and techniques required to run a wide range of collaborative meetings and workshops for small to medium sized internal teams.

2. The Advanced Facilitation Skills Programme

This two-day course provides methods, tools and techniques that will enable a facilitator to run more advanced collaborative meetings and workshops and to successfully manage larger groups.

Mentoring and Support

Both of our facilitator training programmes include three hours of mentoring and support to enable the facilitator to embed and apply their newly learned skills. In our experience, ongoing mentoring and support plays a vital role in encouraging and enabling a facilitator to build their confidence, competence and overall capability.

Therefore, we provide a mentoring and support program which helps …

A newly trained facilitator to successfully complete their first 3 or 4 facilitated sessions
A more experienced facilitator to design and facilitate a session in which they have little or no previous experience

Additional training modules

For people who have completed our facilitator training courses or who are already experienced facilitators, we provide additional training modules that enable the facilitators to learn …

Advanced facilitation methods and techniques
How to run a wide range of workshops and meetings
How to deliver all of our strategy development and strategy execution services

We also run a one day course for facilitators whose facilitation skills have become a little “rusty” or out of date. This course enables them to refresh and update their skills.
