Training Event Delivery

Training Event Delivery

Environmental Management

Equality and Diversity

Training event delivery will typically include tutor input, presentations, games and exercises and action learning through simulations and where appropriate role-play. All modules have comprehensive handouts to allow full participation by the delegate at the learning event rather than spending too much time taking notes.

Our style of delivery is based on a thorough understanding of adult learning methodologies to ensure that all learning styles are challenged. Learning experiences in our taught session allow for delegates to learn from all aspects of Kolb’s Learning cycle from “concrete experience” through “reflective observation” and “abstract conceptualisation” to “active experimentation”.

Our training is based on principles of life long learning and continuous professional development. These include:

Diversity and Inclusion

Empowering learners.Making the learner central to the process. Recognising the crucial role of personal development and life long learning.Helping the delegates manage personal change.

All learners will be given the opportunity to:

Learn and discuss the principles that underpin the knowledge base of the topic.Explore their own values, attitudes and beliefs relating to the learning.Relate learning to practice with particular reference to service provision.During their training receive on-going support and constructive feedback from our trainers that will enable them to develop skills, knowledge and competence in a non-oppressive environment.

Your Training Event

The design of your training event will have at its core accelerated learning techniques often referred to as “Brain Friendly Learning”. In learning, the past has given us the following models and paradigms that don’t really fit today’s learner, they are:

The factory model – assembly lines and compartmentalization.The teacher as the ‘expert’.Behaviourism – the teacher provides the stimulus, the learner learns the appropriate responses.Over-reliance on cognitive learning processes.Competitive approaches to learning and assessment.

All these have left their mark on the way in which learning is designed delivered and evaluated, maybe it's time for a new paradigm.

Brain friendly learning encompasses a whole range of developments in our thinking and culture, specifically:

Neuro-scientific research and the role of “State” and emotions in learning;Our Post-Industrial Culture – We now require less ability to store and memorize information, there is much more emphasis and our ability to think, collaborate, innovate and create value out of the information.The rise in our perceptions of how critical Emotional Intelligence (EI) is to business or personal success;Personal change and development such as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)The Experience Economy, leaner’s now expect a memorable and emotionally involving experience;The decline of behaviourism as the dominant psychology in learning and the rise of more humanistic and holistic approaches;And of course learning styles – one size does not fit all – Kolb, Honey and Mumford et al, all point to the important differences in the way people prefer to learn.

Our trainer’s always use a mix of styles and learning methodologies to maximise the learning potential of training courses and workshops. All our trainers are experienced managers and trained trainers, they come with academic qualifications in excess of the normal programme requirements to ensure we as the trainers are not just “one page” ahead of the delegates, but are able to deal with all questions and queries around the learning.
