Training methodology:

The methodology is based on interactive learning, i.e. learners will learn by doing. Furthermore learners will use examples from their own organisations, thus ensuring that the learning is anchored at their workplace.

Delegates must hand in a post workshop assignment before a certificate will be issued. This post workshop assignment will service as the learners portfolio of evidence for credits claimed.
As with all DCT training programmes, we strive to effect actual change back at the workplace through effective and practical outcomes based training.
