Our training approach
CIDT favours an experiential approach to training which is consistent with best practice for adult learning. Using participatory facilitation methods, we guide diverse groups of participants through a reflective process, using practical tools at each step.
Our courses
MfDR courses include both training and facilitated workshops. Facilitated events can achieve a double outcome – building participant skills and producing a workshop output, such as a strategy, funding proposal or participant consensus.
We can create bespoke courses in the following areas.
- Training of Trainers
- Team Working and Team Building
- Personal Effectiveness
- Leadership and Management
- Coaching for Development
- Designing Training Programmes
- Participatory Approaches
- Community Consultation and Engagement
