The Facilitator's Development Programme

The Facilitator's Development Programme is run both in-house (for a group of participants from your organisation only) and as an open course (participants come from a variety of different organisations).

	In-house	Open
Duration	2 x two day modules	4 consecutive days
Costs	£6,000 + VAT + expenses (expenses = travel, subsistence, accommodation and a copy of the course manual per participant @ £35 per copy)	£1,075 + VAT + accommodation
Venue	According to your needs	A country hotel in the West Midlands

• The course is run over a period of four days. Each day runs from 9.00am to 6.00pm.

• The in-house programme usually has three weeks between the two modules.

• Group size; minimum 4, max 10

a) The ideal group size is 8, the course has been designed and timetabled for a group of this size.

b) The course runs well with 'smaller than 8' group sizes.

c) It can stretch to an absolute maximum of 10 but there are some learning costs in this which I will talk through with you before a decision is made if this is relevant.

d) It can not run with more than 10 participants. This is due to the time taken by facilitation practices which form a very significant part of the course.

• Both the in-house and the open programme require participants to complete some pre-course work to prepare themselves for attending the programme.

• Each participant gets a comprehensive course manual at the start of the programme.

• Each participant receives a certificate of attendance on completion of the full programme.

• The programme runs in such a way that it can be adapted to the needs of those who are new to facilitation as much as it is designed for those who already have experience of facilitating and wish to develop their skills further.
