Workshop Facilitation Pathway
Welcome to Workshop Facilitation Pathway
The Workshop Facilitation Pathway consists of a suite of online courses, and is designed for clinicians and practitioners to develop the essential skills needed to facilitate group discussions and workshops. This suite of online courses aims to provide knowledge of innovative design thinking tools and facilitation techniques, including use of the ‘Innovation Hub’ at the Clinical Skills Development Service (CSDS). Furthermore the development of these online courses is informed by evidence based standards as well as feedback from experienced Metro North trainers.
Post completion of all three modules, you will be able to get a certificate of completion, which will allow you to progress to the next stage of the training, consisting of a face to face workshop. To complete the course, you will need to click on the ‘completion’ module.
