Critical thinking involves a number of processes including identifying and evaluating specific situations, being aware of any contributing circumstances and the potential results of your actions or plans. To think critically, it is important to evaluate various perspectives (yours and others) to identify the resources available to you and evaluate the short and long-term effects of taking a particular action.
The PD Training Critical Thinking Training Course provides training in identifying support structures, perspectives and arguments and how to critically evaluate the advantages and the disadvantages of a proposed plan or an action, so that the right decisions can be made the first time. Learn the difference between left brain and right brain thinking, removing the emotions from decision making, evaluating both sides of an argument and critical questioning skills.
This powerful professional development training course is delivered throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch.

"Terry was very engaging. I liked the way we worked through examples without slogging through the course material."
"Dharan was a great facilitator and did a really good job of covering the content and bringing his own additional knowledge to the subject. He also managed the small number of participants (2) really well and ensured that our learning needs were met."
