Master ETD Facilitator Skills Programme

Purpose of the workshop

The intention of the Train-the-Trainer skills programme is to equip facilitators with the necessary skills to facilitate learning programmes. These skills include the ability to present learning to adults effectively, to understand the variant learning styles and preferences of learners and to know how to utilise the different facilitation methodologies.

Duration

This programme consists of a cluster of three unit standards structured into three workshops. This skills programme has a total value of 50 credits. We recommend that the three workshops be spread over a period of three months. It could also be presented over a continuous period of 10 days. It all depends on the company capacity and learner availability and abilities.

The skills programme comprises of the following:-

Facilitate an adult learning event

2 Days

Facilitate a programme of learning

This workshop is based on the SAQA-registered unit standard ID 7384 – “Facilitate an Adult Learning Event” on NQF level 4 with 16 credits.

This workshop is based on the SAQA-registered unit standard ID 10289 – “Facilitate a programme of learning” on NQF level 5 with 24 credits.

This workshop is based on the SAQA-registered unit standard ID 117871 – “Facilitate learning using a variety of given methodologies” on NQF level 5 with 10 credits.

The last two days are used to assess the learners’ ability to integrate the contexts of the three workshops.

The purpose of this training programme is to expose Learner-Facilitators to basic presentation skills. It gives learners the opportunity to see how they appear before a group of people and how effective they carry their message across.

This learning intervention provides key and underlying skills for other ETD Practitioner such as communication skills, body posture, clear speaking ability and interpersonal contact.

The purpose of this training programme is to give learners the opportunity to learn about the learning styles and preferences of the learners and to understand how to apply the principles of OBE in facilitation. Learners will also learn how to manage the dynamics of group facilitation.

This learning intervention provides key and underlying skills for other ETD Practitioner such as knowing the learners, the learning environment, how to plan and prepare for facilitation, the different facilitation methods and how to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.

Learners will be expected to facilitate learning utilising the skills obtained from the three workshops as part of the summative assessment.

The role of the Facilitator

According to the Learnership contract Annexure A, the learners have to receive 30% theoretical training. It is the responsibility of the Facilitator to facilitate the theoretical classroom training to groups of learners. It is imperative for Facilitators to understand and manage the group dynamics involved in group facilitation.

Assessment

Learners will participate in classroom exercises, complete individual assignments and demonstrate the ability to facilitate new skills throughout the first 8 days. During the last 2 days learners will be expected to apply all the newly acquired skills during a final summative assessment. During the last two days their portfolios will be built and submitted for assessment.
