Facilitation is about learning: “the facilitator’s role is much more about opening things up for discussion in a stimulating way, getting ideas into the open and helping the group to listen to each other, further its knowledge and thus make informed decisions.” Check out Total Focus’s Accredited Facilitation Skills Level 6 Training Programme (Group Work Theory and Practice 6N3669) on the National Framework of Qualifications.
