Course Trainer: Ruth Bradbrook Ever feel like you could do with a few ideas and activities to jazz up your sessions? This day is a chance to have some fun and take part in a host of activities, also to discuss with fellow trainers and facilitators how you can use them in different settings. On offer there will be: ice breakers and energisers; activities to explore group and team dynamics, leadership styles, problem solving strategies; active ways of presenting theories and models; active evaluation methods to help highlight learning, gauge the group mood and assist in apply learning elsewhere.

This course is only available in-house

Aim:

To increase participants' repertoire of training tools, and build confidence in using them appropriately

By the end of the course participants will have had opportunities to:

Experience a range of activities to add to their “tool kit” for training
Explore how these activities can be used in different settings, and how they can be adapted for different learning objectives
Discover top tips to run activities successfully and to encourage all to take part
Develop their knowledge and confidence of new ideas and activities to use in their work
Be part of a creative, lively, interactive and fun learning environment

"Thank you Ruth for a really good day yesterday. It was both skillfully facilitated, informative and your flexible skills were really appreciated. I have since had team members saying what an impression it had on them individually and professionally. As we speak a member of the team is trying out new techniques!"
