Associate Facilitator Designation Program
協和輔引師證書課程

Once again, I am
bringing you a new, useful and exciting designation to add to your
qualification.
You can gain the Associate Facilitator
Designation (協和輔引師) without leaving Hong Kong, or Asia. First time in
Asia!
Facilitation is the art and techniques of making things
easier and faster. You will be trained to facilitate major processes in
any organization.
This is going to
be a co-operative program with a well-known school of facilitation
training in the U.S. that trains you to become a facilitator. You are
going to learn all the skills needed to facilitate ideas generation,
conflict resolution, decision making and various kinds of meetings &
activities in organizations.
Upon graduation, you can then move to
Step 2, the final step of your Certification Process to earn yourself the even higher
level Certified Facilitator Designation.
Your AF
designation will be issued by the world's most well-known school in the field, the FacilitatorU! (a
small once-off registration fee of US$80 if you want the designation from
them).
You
are going to
learn:
You are going to learn a total of
120 different kinds of Facilitation Skills & Concpets.
