Description

Want to deliver your own facilitation skills training courses? Here’s how

Facilitation is basically the process of making something easier or possible. And an effective facilitator uses their skills and experience as a protector of this process.

Too often, we see employees believing that they know how to facilitate sessions. But, when they are put to the test they fail miserably.

Here’s how our training materials will help you deliver your own facilitation skills training courses.

Customer stories

“The modules are certainly still proving useful. Every day I think of another use for them, they have come at just the right time, really excellent value for money – the complexity and depth in the materials mean we can mix and max Powerpoint presentations to suit our audience’s levels and requirements.”

Anita Wild

“As someone who’s been involved in training for more than twenty years, I’ve never known a resource that’s as consistently valuable as Oak.

I’m always amazed at their willingness to provide purchasers of their complete range of presentations regular updates and new training packages at no additional cost. That makes my purchase become more valuable all the time. And their speed in responding to questions is phenomenal.

One of the sessions I often provide is a Training the Trainers workshop. In it, the very first resource I encourage people to purchase is the library of resources from Oak. These packages have made my job infinitely easier, and I recommend them to anyone who’s looking for the highest quality in training materials.”
