Overview
Roffey Park Institute’s Facilitation Skills course is highly practical, giving participants the opportunities to try out new approaches, as well as approaches grounded in research and theory. The course is designed to enable you to facilitate more consciously, courageously and inclusively.
Who is this course for?
Experienced HR, OD and L&D professionals and other change agents who want to enhance their existing skills in facilitating meaningful group work in a range of settings.
Benefits
- Increased ability to facilitate in multiple contexts
- Increased understanding of the social nature of learning
- Increased awareness of complex group systems and dynamics
- Increased self-awareness in relation to your facilitation practice
- Increased confidence to influence growth in group settings
Organisations who employ or work with a participant who has taken part in the Facilitation Skills Course are likely to see improvements in the increased capacity of team members to work together on tough challenges; a greater capacity to reach collective organisational outcomes; increased levels of trust between team members; greater inclusion of diverse people and perspectives; and more effective meetings of all sizes, purposes and types.
Course Outline
The first sessions ground you in the theory of facilitation, making sure you know the why before the how.
As we finish the theory, you get immersed in a group facilitation task that you work on together.
You will then have the opportunity to present and receive feedback to solidify the skills.

Face-to-Face
Your face-to-face experience starts the evening before your programme as you join your fellow participants for dinner so you can get to know each other. Check-in is available from 2pm, providing you with the option to either work from our venue or take advantage of our leisure facilities. Our bar opens at 6pm and dinner is served in the restaurant at 7.30pm. Accommodation, meals and materials are all included in the fees.
We can also deliver the Facilitation Skills course as either an in-house programme for teams or as part of a wider, tailored development programme. For more information please contact us.
Virtual
Technology was once used to facilitate the virtual delivery of our open programmes. Now, technology is used to enhance your learning journey. Through our progressive learning experience programme, MyRoffeyPark, learners have access to the tools, module materials and support whenever and wherever they require – including prework, mindtools and a platform to connect with their peers as well as their facilitators.
At Roffey Park, our purpose is to work with you to support real and sustainable growth; this is not limited solely to face-to-face but through virtual learning, development and consultancy also.
