Do
people in your organisation need to know more about:
- Supervisory management
- Personal effectiveness
- Communication
- Managing volunteers
...or
do you need to consult with someone who has mediation, teambuilding
and mentoring skills?
|
We
have been offering training on these topics for more than ten
years.
We
have an established track record as trainers in the voluntary
sector and are pleased to offer our services throughout the
UK.

in becoming a Training Partner with AM Training.
Have
you been involved in producing learning materials or have you written
anything for publication?
Yes.
We have edited a volunteer supervisor's pack for Community Service
Volunteers; training packs on Volunteer Recruitment, Selection, Support,
and Supervision for The National Centre For Volunteering; and provided
material on Volunteer Management and on Counselling Skills for the
Lampeter distance learning course on Client-Centred Volunteering.
Adam May has written a distance learning module as part of the Higher
Education Certificate In Volunteer Management And The Voluntary Sector
course. He also writes regularly for "Volunteering" magazine.
Adam
was the series consultant for Voluntary Matters 3, a series of 6 programmes
made by the Media Trust for The Learning Zone on BBC2. He
is also the author of 'Thinking About Diversity And Equality', a Welsh
Development Agency publication. This is available for download from
our 'Resources' page.
Can
you help with personality clashes and managing change in organisations?
Sometimes
what can appear to be a training need is actually evidence of staff
resistance to change or to personality clashes in the team. We are
able to facilitate discussions and exercises in a workshop setting
to help people to work effectively in teams and
embrace change constructively.
What information
do you need in a training brief?
-
A description of the current situation and what you hope to gain
from our intervention, e.g. what tasks people will be able to
perform more effectively than before, or how they will relate
differently
-
What
indicators you will use to determine how effective our intervention
has been
-
Some
background information on your agency: brochures, briefing papers,
or minutes of meetings where relevant, for example an indication
of what written reports you might want following our intervention.
Answers
to all of these questions are not needed right at the beginning. Often,
the early stages of our work involve helping you develop the training
brief. You may want to commission us to do a training needs analysis.
Email us or phone our
office on 01248 421015 for further information and to arrange a discussion
about how we might be able to help you meet your organisation's learning
needs.
