Learning is integral to every job – but have you explored how you and others learn most effectively?
The Learning About Learning workshop helps you understand how learning really happens, so you can design, deliver and support learning that works in real workplace situations.
About the Learning About Learning workshop
Have you ever invested time in learning how to learn?
If you are responsible for designing, teaching, coaching, leading or supporting learning in your organisation, or if traditional learning methods have never quite worked for you, this workshop is designed with you in mind.
In this practical one-day Learning About Learning workshop, we explore how learning really happens – beyond traditional methods – and what this means for workplace learning and development, leadership and safety.
This workshop is not about lectures or textbooks. It is about understanding your own unique way of learning and using that knowledge to help yourself, your team and others around you.
Engaging, practical and insightful, you will explore the natural cycle of learning we all go through and strengthen your ability to learn, communicate and support others to apply new skills at work.
You will also discover how to design, deliver and support learning in ways that cater for different learning preferences – whether you are creating training, running inductions, verifying competency, coaching team members, leading meetings or helping people apply new skills on the job.

Workshop participant feedback

Workshop participant feedback
“The way I will look at learning will change. The way I apply learning in both my professional and personal life will change.”
How does the 1-day Learning About Learning workshop work?
Before the workshop, you’ll complete two short online diagnostic tools used by more than half a million people worldwide. These give you a personalised snapshot of how you prefer to learn, process information and make sense of new ideas. You’ll then use these insights throughout the workshop.
You’ll then learn:
