Action Learning Facilitator Training

4 day programme

Whilst there is significant content which has been included within the outline programme below there will be opportunity for participants to focus on specific areas of interest and learning within the practice sessions using action learning methodology.  This is to ensure there is "learning by doing" and "doing by learning".   Participants will be encouraged to set up, organise and begin facilitating an action learning set during the programme in order to ensure effective transference of learning.

Participants will be encouraged to develop a learning diary to record and consider their practice and reflections over the course of the programme.
