Introduction

Training sessions with impact - How to ensure the people you teach actually learn

Poor teaching & training is neither ethical or professional. The underpinning philosophy of this workshop is to improve the effectiveness of teaching and training in both academic and applied psychology. This workshop is geared to different groups depending on the sort of teaching or training they do and how experienced they are.

For lecturers this workshop can help them appreciate the importance of active learning and how to engage learners so that any teaching session has real impact.

For applied psychologists training others in their field this workshop can support them in developing the skills and abilities of their trainees so that they learn independently outside of the classroom.
