Are you a Teacher, Tutor, Guidance Worker, Adviser, Mentor or Coach?

Does your work involve delivering information, advice and guidance either one to one or to groups?

NIACE offers practical one-day training courses, which focus on the skills frontline staff need to help people effectively in a range of settings. This day focuses on developing skills and techniques to identify realistic goals and the steps to take to achieve them.

By the end of the session participants will be aware of:

• The reasons why some action plans may not be effective
• A range of methods for action planning with individuals
• Ways of working with groups
• The range of skills needed for effective action planning

The day will be highly participative, with plenty of opportunities to practise the skills needed for successful action planning with individuals and groups, including setting long term goals, setting short term targets, building confidence and motivating people, and helping to record plans and support people to review progress towards achieving them.
