Course Description
People often make the mistake of thinking that facilitation is just another name for training or presenting. Facilitation involves a higher level of interaction with the audience and therefore requires a different skill set. Facilitators need to understand group dynamics, be able to engage the participators and use a variety of interactive techniques.
This program will provide participants with the foundation skills to be effective facilitators. Participants will learn how to incorporate adult learning principles, differentiate between process and content and understand group dynamics.
