Overview

This one day course will equip participants with knowledge and skills to enable them to identify effective facilitation, where intervention is required, what tools to use and when to use them.

Description

It will focus on helping them understand the role of a facilitator and the practical elements of performing the role, as well as helping them control their emotions and identify group dynamics, characteristics of the individuals within the groups and dealing with difficult situations which arise.

Learning is embedded using practical sessions which will put into practice tools and techniques learnt during the course.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
