Facilitation Training Program

The project has created a unique peer led program for the training and accreditation of facilitators. This program is 52 weeks long and comprises small intakes of 6-8 participants. Applications are now open for the 2025/26 pilot intake, expected to start June or July.

In essence the program comprises three core components. First, participants create and facilitate practice sessions for their trainee group, (learning by doing). Trainees also create and deliver theory presentations (learning by teaching). Thirdly, both practical works attract systematic and skilful peer feedback that informs progress.

The program leans also on a comprehensive curriculum, and a group mentor (a previous graduate who attends sessions with the program group). However the true cornerstone of the program is the peer group's own collaboration. Each participant brings part of the picture. For leadership, by leadership.

Because the program is self directed, or more accurately, peer directed, there is no financial cost for being in the program.

If this is the excuse you've been waiting for to get involved in the project, or you've long been wanting to train in AR facilitation, but couldn't afford to, or you are wanting a more collaborative hands on approach, we invite you to check out the program outline PDF.
