embedding the learning.
This course is delivered using observational and participative theatre based learning.
Our actors perform a number of scenes that relate to one interview.
After each scene our trainer will facilitate discussions based on what was observed and introduce best practice to create a truly positive interview experience for the candidate and to ensure as much information as possible is gained from the time spent with them.
We then give learners the opportunity to conduct an observed interview with our actors where they will receive feedback from the trainer, actors and peers. This safe learning environment embeds the learning.

Some faq's about Interview Skills Training.
0.1 What is Theatre based learning?
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).
0.2What are the benefits of our Interview Skills training?
video showcase.
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.

theatre of learning delivering sustained blended 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.
