Who is the training for?

We have people from not-for-profit organisations, government, corporate, therapeutic settings, private consultancy and more attend our training. The principles and skills are applicable to any realm of facilitation - and the variety in the room brings valuable perspectives to the training.

We believe you can't learn facilitation without getting your hands in the dirt! Hence our training is highly experiential and hands-on. We offer participants plenty of opportunities for live practice during the course.

We also welcome your unique facilitation/leadership challenges into the course and seek to provide opportunities to practice that are most meaningful to you.
