Waymarking Training

Waymarking offers training as part of its bespoke guided consultancy process for organisations, community groups, organisations and businesses (see About).

 

Our training is accessible, engaging and thought-provoking, using participatory group discussion and activity techniques. We offer training in half days, full days and series of shorter sessions over a period of weeks. Ideally at least some of these sessions would be face to face, but online training can also be supported. Training can be tailored to community and/or professional participants.

 

If your business, organisation or group is interested in Waymarking’s training, we will discuss and agree learning objectives to fit your needs at the outset. Highly accessible and visually engaging training resource packs are available following the sessions.
