Overview
Group working is an essential part of organisational life and its effectiveness is often dependent on the facilitator running them. As a facilitator, you will help a group to share their knowledge, explore issues, generate ideas, solve problems and develop outcomes.
Our Practical Facilitation Skills Course is a comprehensive and real-world course aimed at enabling participants to understand the skills required in the role of facilitator. With group practice sessions you will learn to understand group dynamics, how to pre-plan and be flexible “in the moment”. You will gain an understanding of the facilitation skills that you need to use to enable groups to work together to achieve their goals.
