TRAINING METHODS

All TrainingPeople courses are highly practical in nature and questions and comments are actively encouraged. No one is ever forced to participate at any of our courses but we do encourage maximum group participation. We make use of exercises, small group work, work in pairs and exercises such as quizzes and ice breakers designed to promote discussion and learning. The main points are illustrated by a mixture of PowerPoint, hand outs, use of a flip chart and video / audio (where appropriate). Our trainers always strive to provide actual examples of how the various issues under discussion have been practically implemented by individuals or organisations.
