Duration
The complete programme consists of 12 learning sessions. Session times vary from
1:00 to 2:00 hours. The total programme will take 21 hours or approximately 3 full
working days.

Training Approach and Methods

The programme is based on the assumption that:
“Training is expensive”
“Money for training is scarce”

Therefore it looks upon training as an investment, and unless the training yields
results, the return on the money invested in it will be nil.

On their return home from the training programme, the participants should therefore
be able to prove improvement in management. In order to prepare and equip the
participants to achieve this, the programme will use highly active learning approach
through the use of participatory learning techniques.

Participants (working mostly in groups) will learn through simulated problem solving
exercises and guidance from the facilitators, who will act more as a “facilitator” of
learning than a lecturer.

Structure
The programme is divided into 12 sessions as shown below:

1. Introduction "Participant’s Expectation and Fears” and brief

presentation of Team Building first phase.
