The problems with inconsistently applied facilitation standards both from
facilitator to facilitator and among companies became serious enough that a
UK Focus Team on Facilitator Accreditation was set up to develop an
industry standard programme. The focus team includes facilitators, the
regulatory authority, the industry lead body for National Vocational
Qualifications, the Aeronautical Society and others. This is an ongoing
effort and the first public briefing will be during the September 17th LOFT
conference at CAA Gatwick. I will be able to forward more information to
this list following the conference, but I thought it might be interesting
to note that the project is under way.
Guy (with his experience) can develop such a programme, as could others.
In the interests of consistency of facilitation some consensus on content
and standards should be the rule, not the exception.
