Facilitation Training Course

Whether you are running a 30-minute team planning session or a three-day evaluation program, you need to have a good understanding of facilitation skills in order to achieve effective outcomes.

Our facilitation courses are designed to equip you with the necessary skills to design and run facilitation sessions. Key elements include enhancing communication skills, learning to read the audience, encouraging participation and engagement, and understanding adult learning principles.

People often make the mistake of thinking that facilitation is just another name for training or presenting. Facilitation involves a higher level of interaction with the audience and therefore requires a different skill set. Facilitators need to understand group dynamics, be able to engage the participants and use a variety of interactive techniques.
