ACCREDITED FACILITATOR COURSE

If you want to become an accredited facilitator this is the course for you.  We teach you how to train others.  Some of the exciting things we cover in class are the 20 methods of facilitation and how to handle 10 difficult types of learners.  You will plan and facilitate a practical session which will be done in class, and you need to facilitate another session on your own afterwards.

Our Accredited Facilitator Course is based on SAQA Unit Standard 117871 – “Facilitate learning using a variety of given methodologies”.  Successful students will be certified on NQF level 5 and awarded with 10 credits.  The course takes place over 3-4 days, depending on the size of the group, during which we cover theoretical and practical work through a simulation in class.

Our courses are based on outcomes-based principles and we focus on small group sessions, which ensure that every student receives individual attention.  We offer courses in Nelspruit, Durban, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth but we travel for groups of more than five students.  All our courses are generic and accepted by all SETA’s and ETQA’s, so it doesn’t matter in which field you work, we cater for everybody.

After the contact session learners are also expected to complete some activities on their own which includes a practical facilitation session and some theoretical questionnaires.  The course fee includes support after the course which can be given through another contact session or telephonically, which ever suits the student best.
