Canadian Management Centre

Home / Training Methodology

Based on adult learning principles, Canadian Management Centre's Learning Management Model uses proven, highly interactive participatory sessions and practical techniques that offer discernable behavioural change that can be implemented/applied immediately in the workplace.

We have always been firm believers in an interactive and engaging instructing style- an evolutionary step beyond traditional lecturing. From theory, to strategy, to proven practical tools, Canadian Management Centre delivers readily applicable ideas and solutions to prepare participants for real-world situations.

To provide a constantly challenging and innovative knowledge environment, a variety of learning tools are utilized in seminar delivery. Self-assessment tools, instruments, videos, role-plays, breakout sessions, group discussions and other stimulating adult learning methodologies compliment seminar material and promote better retention of seminar content.

In order to facilitate knowledge transfer, we feel it is important to acknowledge the specific needs of adult learners. With respect to adult learning, we feel the following principles hold true: Adults must have a reason to learn and a meaningful program - our team will work with your organization to develop the best curriculum that is applicable to your employees.

• Adults must have a reason to learn and a meaningful program - our team will work with your organization to develop the best curriculum that is applicable to your employees

• Adults must be involved in the learning - as such, we incorporate a high level of interactivity during delivery in order to gauge the transfer of learning

• Adults learn by building on experience - Our facilitators are adept at incorporating examples and information so that learners will have a relevant frame of reference

• Adults learn by doing - applicable case examples and opportunities for knowledge retention tests are incorporated into each seminar delivery

• Adults learn in different ways and at different rates - utilizing a variety of teaching methods (accelerated learning, group work, individual exercises, encouraging participation) during delivery allows us to stay true to the content while maximizing the experience for all learners

• Adults appreciate constructive feedback - we use facilitators who are adept at listening effectively, and who understand the psychology of evaluative and reinforcing feedback

• Adults appreciate an informal environment - a relaxed environment created by our facilitators allow these learners to feel at ease and become more open to the learning experience

• Adults should be treated with dignity and respect - this is a fundamental tenet that is reinforced by our program facilitator through establishing an atmosphere of mutual respect for all those involved
