Sign up to a May Workshop!

Develop your skills in hosting a virtual training session on either Zoom or MS Teams, to enable you to:

• experience being a participant in a virtual teambuilding activity (instructive to see how it feels!)
• learn how to host a virtual workshop as facilitator (it's important to feel confident and 'slick')
• get some top tips from an expert virtual (and classroom) facilitator.

The workshops will be facilitated by independent trainer, Anthony Donovan of Donovan Training Associates. You can book onto one of the dates below for our open workshops or we can host a bespoke session just for your organisation. 

Workshop Testimonial
"Anthony was the perfect facilitator for us. He was very encouraging as a host and was very flexible in how he delivered the session. Once we completed the activity we took time to explore the Key Learning Points as a team, and then he took us through some hints and tips for delivering virtual activities. A great mixture of fun and learning facilitated at a high level."
Alan Jerram, Learning & Development Specialist, Abri Group
