Example Professional Development Programme
A typical week long professional development programme is outlined below.
Day one
Small group A
A one-hour professional development discussion on adult education, training, or assessment topic of interest. The approach is specifically tailored to ensure all views are equally valued and the group is encouraged to trial the agreed approach over the coming days (action-based learning).
Training room coaching
Our experienced team will work with you to develop a coaching schedule. We will review the training room environment and provide expert confidential advice to the trainer/assessor and the immediate supervisor. Generally, one hour enables us to review the training and assessment environment followed by a half hour private coaching discussion upon conclusion of the training event. The faculty member will receive video/photographic evidence and a comprehensive written report with ongoing professional development recommendations.

Day three
Small group C
As above. Why small groups? Providing a safe environment will ensure all those in attendance participate. Our highly skilled facilitators will ensure all views are equally valued. One many occasions Transformation Consultancy has observed how the approach develops trust and respect within various work teams. Such an approach will transfer the training institute-wide.
Validation meeting
You select the subject or course (training program) and a member of our team will join your faculty meeting to provide an independent and expert opinion on the materials provided. Generally, our team will independently validate the course prior to entering the meeting (you receive a comprehensive written report). In this way, you can be assured of value for money.
