Home / Training Methodology / Philosophies Used in Our Programs

1. Use of practitioner/facilitators to engage and bring out the group's experience and knowledge while guiding and interjecting their own.

2. Use of seminar leaders with a specialization and passion for subject area - who are "missionaries not mercenaries" in the fields where they have spent their careers.

3. Our facilitators seek total learner participation - involving the whole body/mind with all its emotions and senses - acknowledging that learning is not the passive storage of information but the active creation of knowledge.

4. Collaboration among participants greatly enhances learning. Good learning has a social base - we often learn more from our interactions with peers than by other means.

5. Activity-centred learning is superior to presentation-centred methods. Learning comes from doing the work itself, using practical, relevant exercises and tools within a safe, yet challenging training environment.
