Course Objectives:
Course Overview
Most people, once they leave the formal education system, do not focus on any further learning or on continuing to develop their thinking skills. As their careers progress, they become more expert in a few things, but less capable in dealing with or understanding things outside their domain of expertise. Research shows that most people only use a fraction of their cognitive abilities yet the ongoing exercise of the brain function can reduce mental debilitation throughout life. This challenging, but entertaining, course revisits many of the thinking skills that lie dormant in the average person. The course explores various kinds of individual and group problem solving approaches and various thinking styles. Delegates will go away with a fresh outlook on organisational problem solving, and be motivated to expand their cognitive horizons.
Course Delivery The course delivery comprises instructor-led seminars interspersed with extensive practical exercises for both the group and the individual
Course Prerequisites To get the most value out of the course, it should be done at the right time in a person's career. Delegates and their companies will derive maximum benefit from the learning experience if they are able to apply the skills learnt in the workplace during the course. We do not exclude any delegate who is strongly motivated to do the course. We do, however, recommend that candidates have obtained a matriculation certificate.
Course Assessment Students will learn by experience and practical exercises. To complete the course, delegates are required to attend the full course and actively participate in the exercises, discussion & feedback. Assessment of competency is done by the course facilitator. The mechanism is observation. The course is designed to be completed in the full 2 days. There is no homework. However, if delegates take up the challenge of the course, they can expect to spend at least half an hour a day, for the rest of their lives, honing their problem-solving and thinking skills!
Course Accreditation FTI was the first IIBA Endorsed Education Provider (EEP) in South Africa, and is the only EEP in SA to hold Charter Status. Faculty Training Institute was approved as an Approved Education & Training Provider with the ISETT SETA in January 2003. FTI is currently in the process of applying for full accreditation, conditional on the future structure of SAQA and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). FTI is also actively engaged with various Skills Governing Bodies (SGBs) in ISETT to develop standards and qualifications This course falls into a category loosely defined by SAQA as ‘vocational short courses’ because it requires less than a year’s full-time study
