- 1 week before the training, participants must follow a 3h e-learning focused on training facilitation techniques.
- An online survey evaluates the knowledge acquired through pre-reading. Participants who have not successfully completed the evaluation will not be allowed to follow the training.
- Following to the e-learning, participants receive an email assigning them several sessions of the WOC and L&C course, that he/she will have to deliver in front of the other during the ToT. They spend the rest of the week preparing their sessions.
- Face to face training: during the two weeks ToT, WOC and L&C training sessions are delivered by the participants themselves to the others. ToT facilitators debrief after each session/each day.
COURSE EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
- Level 1 evaluation (Reaction). After each day, learners complete a short online evaluation providing feedback on training methodologies, pace and facilitation.
- At the end of the 4.5 days dedicated to the WOC, an online evaluation is done by participants
- A similar evaluation is sent at the end of the 4.5 days L&C ToT
- A mark will be given by trainers to evaluate participant’s participation during the ToT.
