Facilitation is fast becoming a key skill for anyone who is in a team, leading a project team, heading up a working group or managing a department.

Facilitation is the skill, and art of guiding others to solve their own problems and achieve their objectives without simply giving advice or offering solutions. A facilitator provides the structure and process – enabling groups to function effectively and make high-quality decisions.

This two day Facilitation training course is highly participative and designed to help delegates achieve a practical understanding of the process and skills of facilitation.

Delegates on this facilitation course will receive a ‘Facilitator’s Toolkit’ containing a range of powerful techniques they can utilise back at work.

We also provide private and in-company Facilitation Skills courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
