Learning outcomes

The learning outcomes of this online Facilitation Skills training course are to:

  • Provide tips in choosing and preparing for facilitation

What is facilitation?

Facilitation is any activity that makes an action or a process easy or easier. For example:

  • Facilitation is used in business and organisational settings to ensure the designing and running of successful meetings and workshops.
  • Neural facilitation in neuroscience is the increase in postsynaptic potential evoked by a 2nd impulse.
  • Ecological facilitation describes how an organism profits from the presence of another. Examples are nurse plants, which provide shade for new seedlings or saplings (e.g. using an orange tree to provide shade for a newly planted coffee plant), or plants giving shelter from wind chill in arctic environments.

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.
