An opportunity – become an instructor in personal and professional development

Effectiveness Training is recognised as being at the forefront for effective communication skills in interpersonal and organisational change.

Instructor Training Workshops are complete workshops designed to prepare you to facilitate Effectiveness Training programmes within your community or organisation. An Instructor Training Workshop is based on a learning-by-doing model. It is highly interactive and combines instruction in the core content and skills with exercises providing practice in dealing with group dynamics and the process of teaching and facilitating Effectiveness Training courses.
