KBA
adopts a range of training approaches, dependent upon organisational
and individual need. The key benefit of staff at KBA is that
we are practitioners - not academics. We therefore choose
the most appropriate training approach through a combination
of many years' experience and, most importantly, listening
carefully and responding to the needs and requirements of
our clients.
Training
approaches we currently use include: -
Psychometrics
KBA
has access to a wide range of Psychometrics tools and questionnaires,
which tutors are fully qualified to use.

We use
these to:
- help
you to make recruitment and selection decisions.
- helping
individuals to develop themselves and their teams in the
light of knowledge about their personal strengths and weaknesses.
- Underpinning
development programmes.
- Supporting
Coaching programmes.
- integrating
psychometric approaches with competency models suited to
your business.
Role-play
This
is a activity which provides delegates with the opportunity
to practice the skills and techniques which are being discussed
in the training day or seminar. All role-plays are problem
orientated and contextualised to the individual organisation.
Small
Group Work and Group Discussions
KBA recognises
the importance of interactive sessions and not bombarding
delegates with information. Tutors therefore introduce small
group work at regular stages throughout the event, setting
tasks and activities, before facilitating plenary sessions
to share thoughts with the whole group.
Hand-outs
Handouts
support all discussions during the training session, to aid
the learning process. This serves to reinforce the learning
and provide a useful reference guide when the delegate is
back in the work environment.
Case
Studies
In order
to allow delegates to explore a range of issues, together
with making practical application to theory, KBA often uses
case studies to illustrate points. These are always discussed
in small groups, facilitated by a tutor.
Learning
Games
KBA recognises
that delegates sometimes learn most effectively through fun
activities and games - with a purpose. We often use such games
and activities, which have a clear purpose and allow delegates
to reflect and think. These activities are always de-briefed
at the end of the session, with the tutor drawing out from
the delegates the key learning messages.
Outdoor
Activities
In situations
where it is appropriate, KBA run team-building activities
based outdoors. This involves a range of activities and isn't
just about raft building!
