Description

This course is deigned to help problem solvers think about the issues they face in different ways. We can easily get into a rut in our problem solving using the same tools over and over, and producing predictable answers.

On completion of the course, delegates will be able to:

  • Understand why problem-solving efforts sometimes fails.
  • Recognise that creative thinking is a mindset supported by clear principles.
  • Deploy the new problem-solving tools to enhance the thinking of any problem-solving team.

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.
