Workshop Format
Workshops consist of talk, questions and
answers. There are no power points, audio
visuals, breakout sessions,
role playing exercises or group activities.
Participants are not expected to introduce
themselves. Workshops run better if participants
are on video but it is not compulsory. Each
workshop follows a script. By using scripts more
topics can be covered in less time with complete
accuracy. Participants are sent a copy of the
script by email after the workshop. The trainer
may add unscripted remarks during the workshop
to liven things up. Workshops do not require
prior knowledge. Everything is explained in everyday language. Jargon and acronyms
are kept to a minimum.
Questions
We do not
offer in house courses, courses on other topics,
bid writing services or consultancy services. If you have a question please
email
question3@nfpmail1.co.uk If
