Facilitation Techniques
The Facilitation Techniques workshop covers important aspects of delivering learning programs. No matter how well a learning program is designed and developed, if the delivery is not accomplished well, the learning program will almost certainly fail to meet expectations. Facilitation Techniques is a classroom-based, instructor-led workshop that includes information and multiple practice opportunities. In this fast-paced workshop you will have many chances to go beyond the theory and start putting your newfound knowledge into practice.
