All about the FLOW Offering a flexible learning environment, the online facilitated courses combine the convenience of virtual learning with the benefits of interactive people-focused learning to optimize results for busy professionals. The key ingredients of this approach is represented in its name, which stands for: Facilitated: We firmly believe that learning is about the learners, and their individual journeys. That's why, an effective course is not just about giving good content, but also about facilitating the learning processes. Learner driven: Just as important as the technical knowledge of our expert trainers, the inputs by the learners form a core of our courses, reflecting their backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. Outcome oriented: Always keeping in mind that “teaching without learning is just talking” (Angelo TA and Cross KP), we design learning experiences that focus on what the learners can achieve and how that will support their goals, rather than focusing just on what they receive. Welcoming: Our courses are people-focused, because we know personal connections support learning outcomes. We create a welcoming and safe space for all learners to engage in discussions with each other to make the most of their learning experience. How does it work? Our online courses are designed to support the skills-building needs of busy tourism professionals. Practical lessons and guidance by expert trainers and contributors. Hands-on activities to help you apply your knowledge to your specific real-life, on-the-job practices; and Live and interactive components to enhance learning results through sharing ideas and collaborating with each other. Throughout the process, our Course Facilitator will guide you along the way, and you will receive email updates with useful information and to help you keep track of your progress. Will it work for me? Our online courses are a dynamic and interactive way to learn from anywhere in the world, and are a good fit for you if: You like the convenience of learning at your own pace, setting your own schedule for watching video lessons and working on assignments. But you also like to have some structure and guidance to help you stay motivated and to make it easy to stay on track. And you want your online learning experience to be flexible, but at the same time as interactive and engaging as possible.
