Training Methodology

Training is designed to be driven by what employees need the most at work and will focus upon learning from action and for action.

Sessions will follow this experiential learning cycle:

• doing something,
• reflecting on that experience (critical reflection skills),
• developing new ways of seeing the challenge (theory, a way of seeing), and
• using that new way of seeing the challenge to identify new options for action to take back and test/ practice at work.

Assessment Strategy: A signature assignment will be delivered, culminating all learning outcomes, and providing the learner with tools that can be applied in their workplace.
