ACCELERATED LEARNING
FACILITATION SKILLS

“Clearly contemporary training can sometimes stifle people and rob them of the joy of learning. It can keep them from exercising their full mind and spirit and realising their full potential. To be an accelerated learning practitioner, then, is to restore wholeness to the learning process and, thus, to the learners themselves”

The Accelerated Learning Handbook, Dave Meier

This course is aimed at facilitators who would like to breathe new life into their work and learn new dynamic, creative and practical ways of learning and facilitating through ‘accelerated learning techniques,’ or ‘whole brain learning’.

TIMINGS Day One: 9.30am-4.30pm Day Two: 9.30am-4.30pm GROUP SIZE Minimum six Maximum ten RECOMMENDED Recommended: 45 minutes phone coaching with each delegate a month after the course to discuss and develop their training practice
