The Format of our average training day is arrival at 9.15am for Registration and Tea / Coffee. Our training starts at 9.30am with Introductions, our Groundrules and Domestics details. We have tea breaks for 15 minutes at 11am and again at 3pm in the afternoon. The day will usually end at 4.30pm but may run a little over at times. Throughout the day there are interspersed presentations using powerpoint and flipcharts with small group exercises of various sorts and main group discussions. On some courses there are short DVD videos. We always encourage questions either within the main group (where appropriate) or catch us (for more private discussion) at breaks or over lunch. All courses come with full handout packs.
