Facilitation Profile

SELF QUESTIONNAIRE

You are invited to complete a skills, attributes and knowledge (SAKs) questionnaire. This is designed to identify your personal strengths (and areas where you might need development) against a range of competencies, which have been found to be key to being an effective facilitator.

You will receive your profile on the workshop. A group profile will also be produced which will show the profile of the delegates overall. If you have any problems in completing this questionnaire please contact us.
