Facilitation Skills

Overview

This programme enables the development of key facilitation skills appropriate for managing problem solving and decision making groups in an “Awayday” setting.

The programme is highly participative with plenty of opportunity to practice the skills of facilitation. In addition, significant learning will come through the opportunity of participants to observe others and give and receive feedback on their developing skills and their colleagues.
