This virtual training course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate groups

As well as developing your skills as a facilitator, it will provide guidance on how to emotions, manage group dynamics and deal with any difficult situations that may arise.

The training is delivered via two interactive 2.5 hour sessions with breaks.

What will I learn?

You will learn how to recognise challenging and supporting behaviours in a group; how to control your emotions in difficult situations; and implement appropriate facilitation techniques in line with group development stages.

Building on the previous sessions, you will establish how recognising different characteristics in a group will help to inform facilitation and where intervention is required. You will identify your personal development areas and, through a case study, examine facilitation skills in action.

By the end of the training course you will be able to:

Explain what facilitation is and in what situations supporting and challenging should be used

Identify group dynamics and recognise what intervention is needed depending on the situation and the individuals within the group

Examine facilitation tools and techniques

Identify characteristics of groups and the impact on facilitation

Identify personal development areas for facilitation skills

Put into practice, tools and techniques learnt during the course to enable successful facilitation

Is it for me?

If you are involved in facilitating groups as part of a formal meeting, a training course or general facilitation of groups of individuals in the workplace this is the course for you.
