BSA’s Training Approach

These are our pledges to our learners:

• You’ll learn practical techniques that can apply straightaway. The training is not about learning the latest models or learning which person developed which theory.  The training will be easy to follow, straightforward and practical so you can quickly apply what you learned in the workplace.
• You’ll have time to plan-do-review. The long-lasting and behavioural learning takes place once lessons are practically applied in the workplace.  At the end of each workshop, participants will be required to collate an action plan outlining what they are going to do differently as a direct consequence of the training.  You will be expected to report back at the following session on the progress you made.
• You’ll be comfortable. We’ll create an informal, relaxed and supportive learning environment to help you get the most out of the session.
• You’ll be engaged. We’ll include activities like experiential problem-solving games, role plays and action learning sets. Your personality will be tested, as will your behaviour. You’ll get 360-degree feedback, action learning sets, we’ll have group discussions; one-to-ones, experiential problem-solving games, role plays and case studies.
• You’ll learn about you. We will “hold up a mirror” so you can see and celebrate what makes you unique and your contribution to the business.
• You’ll learn about others. We will provide opportunities for the participants to learn, not just about themselves, but about colleagues, customers, suppliers and how to best work with them.
• You’ll improve relationships with fellow learners. We will improve working relationships and develop lines of communication between participants through peer group learning; sharing good practice; team working exercises and group discussions
• You’ll get training specific to you. We’ll ensure the training is relevant and has impact. We will flex the content of the programme based on any emerging needs of the group.
• You’ll have access to aftercare. We will provide support after the training programme for questions and ongoing guidance.
