Facilitation Skills Training Course
Effective facilitation skills are a highly desirable attribute for individuals who wish to manage meetings and planning sessions in New Zealand for more timely and productive outcomes. Facilitating is more than just setting a meeting time. It requires skills in presentation, negotiation, elaboration and communicating with stake holders.
The PD Training Facilitation Skills Training Course teaches you practical techniques like choosing a facilitated approach, encouraging participation and gathering information, addressing disruptions, using reframing techniques, using intervention when required and much more. You'll learn key skills that can be used right away and the course is now available throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington.

"Terry was very good in allowing us share our information on facilitation and reinforcing with relevant experiences and up to date information."
MEFSC
"The trainer pitched it at the right level for us - he got some good comm's flowing and was able to get us to participate without dominating proceedings. When I reflected in what was covered at home - I picked up a lot more than I thought I had - which shows it was a good training day!"
BNZ
"Terry was an excellent trainer, very engaging! A thoroughly enjoyable day! Thank you Terry."
Auckland Disability Law
"I found it to be a good generalized course. That catered to a wide range of issues."
Counselling Caboodle

"A very knowledgeable instructor who answered all questions well giving examples in areas that I could improve on."
Royal New Zealand Navy
"The trainer was awesome and it was because of her that I felt really engaged in the content and enthusiastic to learn!"
Victoria University

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.

At the completion of training participants are encouraged to create an action plan, and invite an accountability buddy via their Orgmenta App.
In your Training Management Centre you have transparency to the action plans so you can see what people are going to do differently.
Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts,
and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
It’s surprisingly easy to make it so that your system can automatically be up to date with all the training record details you need.
