Methodology & assessment
The standard methodology is highly practical and participative with hands-on approach that comprises real-job examples, case studies examination and simulations. We embrace collaborative working methods that foster mutual learning and cooperation among participants. Our focus is on transferring knowledge and skills which are applicable to real contexts and/or in the classroom. The pedagogical methods that we use are based upon experiential learning, group and peer activities, learning-by-doing and best practices’ exchange.
We support our partners in every step of the course: from application, to preparation, to monitoring and evaluation and collection of all final documentation. Morning wrap-up and brief daily evaluations are foreseen to ensure the learning programme is finely tailored to participants' needs. At the end of each course, we provide participants with supporting material and multiple dissemination evidence.
We commit to make participants feel at home during our courses, catering for their personal, practical and educational needs. Indeed, in addition to delivering the training, we provide board and lodging in the same hotel where the course takes place, thus ensuring the best comfort and coziness as well as effective time management.
We organize optional social, networking and cultural activities in order to give participants the opportunity to know the venue’s culture as well as to exchange best-practice and establish professional links. The training and staff team is multinational thus giving a full European dimension to the course.
