embedding the learning.

This course is delivered using observational and participative theatre based learning. We create scenarios that trainers will face and explore strategies for approaching them in the safety of a training environment where we can test what works and what doesn't without facing the consequences. We embed the learning by combining theory, models and practice.

Some faq's about our Being a great trainer Training.

Theatre Based Learning is the technique we use to bring learning to life by using our actors to perform scenarios, based on real case studies.

Theatre Based Learning can be either observational (where learners watch scenes and discuss) OR participative (where we use techniques like real-play and practice, forum where learners interact with the actors and direct them or hot-seating where learners give feedback to individual characters and make suggestions).

This course focuses on how to create and embed innovative and fun learning regardless of the subject matter. We also explore how to manage different expectations, needs and wants from learners, together with how to handle different types of learners - we have all experienced learners who really don't want to be there and we will use our actor to play these characters so we can play with how we handle the situation should it arise.

Discussing and learning in the traditional ‘class-room’ is effective, but long-term memory is better stimulated by having an experience. Our approach using experiential and drama based methods delivers this and leads to more sustained learning.

Our training is observational and participative, using teams of actors to bring it to life. We recognise that taking part in role-play is not for everyone, so we offer observational training – this is where two of our acting team demonstrate scenes related to the course and delegates observe and comment on the behaviors. Where a business is more confident working with actors, we take this to the next level with participative training so delegates get to practice their newly learnt skills.
