APMG - Facilitation Training and Certification Practitioner

On this accelerated APMG International Facilitation Training and Certification Practitioner is provided in conjunction with Creative Consulting and Training Ltd, an APMG accredited training organisation, and as part of this course you will learn to apply facilitation principles to small groups as you work on real tasks and cultivate the key skills and deep knowledge of the principles and concepts involved in effective facilitation.

On average we spend four hours in meetings a week and deem two thirds of this unnecessary*. Topics discussed in unproductive meetings and workshops that fail to meet objectives often need to be revisited, further decreasing productivity.

This Facilitation Training and Certification provides the structure to enable specialists and managers alike to facilitate groups, meetings and events effectively – increasing productivity and helping these activities achieve the desired outcomes. Based on the publication “Facilitation: Develop Your Expertise”, our Facilitation qualifications equip individuals with the valuable tools, techniques and skills needed to become a confident facilitator.

The ‘Process Iceberg®’ methodology covered in the training was developed with experts in the field and takes a pragmatic and practical approach.

In just 2 days, you’ll also learn how to:

• Enhance productivity.
• Enable effective problem solving.
• Increase your organisations ability to undertake business processes improvement and ensure engagement from people.
• Enhance project management delivery.
• Encourage buy-in and commitment to business goals and objectives.

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the APMG exam, and achieve your Facilitation Training and Certification Practitioner certification. Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get certified at twice the speed of the traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
