ONLINE FACILITATION LEARNING LABS
Innovative Learning for Facilitators
Our Learning Labs are designed for advancing the profession of facilitation, maintaining professional standards and supporting practitioners’ continuing professional development. They are interactive, engaging facilitated sessions designed to enhance your skills and awareness while providing practical tools and insights to apply in your practice. These sessions are rooted in core facilitator competencies—Facilitation, Awareness, Contracting, Ethics, Theory, and Support (FACETS®)—and include taught content, guided activities, and practical takeaways to support your ongoing development as a facilitator.
Using approaches drawn from humanistic and therapeutic practices—including Person-Centred techniques, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and co-counselling, as well as up-to-date Organisational Development theories and practice—our Learning Labs provide focused opportunities to develop essential skills in an interactive and engaging environment, and engage in facilitation learning grounded in real-world practice.
Each session is crafted to not only deepen your awareness but also to expand your understanding of organisations, systems, and the relationships that shape them.

‘Sharpen the saw’
Our Learning Labs offer an opportunity to ‘sharpen the saw’ by refining your emotional and relational skills, strengthening resilience, and engaging with peers in a professional, collegiate learning environment.
All our courses are underpinned by principles of equality, empowerment, self-directed learning, and peer development that we, AoF, are committed to. Read more about our Ways of Working here
More ways to develop your practice
In addition to our Learning Labs, you might also be interested in our in-person Learning Days. These are an excellent opportunity to meet, review and share good practice in a rich day of facilitated enquiry and collaborative learning.
Our FACETS® competency model, introduced above, also provides a framework for assessing and guiding your personal and professional development as a facilitator. FACETS® acknowledges that facilitation is truly multi-faceted, spanning six key interrelated areas central to both the skill level and character of practitioners. Read more about FACETS® here.
