Overview

Throughout this Facilitation Skills course, you will learn to distinguish facilitation from instruction and training, will be able to identify the competencies linked to effective small group facilitation as well as understand the difference between content and process.

How easily can you facilitate, rather than control, group decision-making and team interaction to be productive? With no training, people may find it challenging to make the transition from instructors or managers to facilitators.

There has been a growing realisation that people have to pay attention to the process elements of meetings for a productive discussion. With its actual focus on asking rather than telling, as well as listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal and the core competency everybody needs. The managers and supervisors are often asked to facilitate rather than instruct their meetings and training sessions. It is near impossible to be part of an organisation nowadays and not attend meetings.

This Facilitation Skills course will help you to determine the stages of team development and ways to help teams through each step and use common process tools to make meetings more accessible and more productive. This course is designed to make core facilitation skills better understood and readily available for your organisation.

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.
