Efficiency Works utilises experienced and qualified trainers for all workshops and training courses. All trainers hold a Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40110), a qualification that reflects the roles of trainers in the vocational educational and training (VET) sector, and a requirement of the Australian Quality Training Framework for a structured VET program.

Our trainers utilise a collaborative approach that quickly engages with participants, and challenges thinking, transfers knowledge and builds skills. The trainer utilises a combination of theory, learning exercises, visual aids and group discussion to ensure that participants are fully engaged over the duration of the workshop.

The benefits of attending the workshop will deliver the following outcomes for the organisation and the participants:

• Provides a shared, collaborative, and systemic approach to problem solving
• Provide a goal to solve but to evolve, adjusting the solution continually as new challenges emerge
• Identify problems through problem formulation and questioning
