Qualification Overview:
Stakeholder consultations, community feedback, staff meetings and focus groups are just some of the many areas that require expert facilitation skills. This new qualification program is aimed at both experienced presenters and line managers who are called on to facilitate group meetings.
The Diploma in Facilitation Skills offers a progressive and comprehensive experience about facilitation as a function. This program provides exposure to a variety of processes and tools that can be used to achieve a number of outcomes, such as managing group dynamics in a meeting, extracting and gathering data regarding a project, mapping data or even assisting group decision making.
This experiential style program immerses participants in extensive activities devised to enhance interpersonal skills and offer a high level of engagement.
The weighting of theory, practice and demonstrations in this program has been balanced to enable participants ample opportunity to experience, learn and practice ‘how to’ facilitate with the guidance, feedback and coaching of AIM Facilitators.
This program aim is to offer participants an opportunity to improve how they relate and work with individuals and groups of people by way of selecting effective and suitable processes in order for them to achieve an outcome.
