What is Accelerated Learning?

"I have proved to myself and my managers that these methods increase learning."
Trixie Wilson, Clerical Medical Investment Group

More effective, faster, easier learning and training? Less time and money spent, less time wasted in ineffective courses. As one of the UK's most established and proven sources (with over 180 AL courses for trainers delivered), we can advise on all aspects of applying accelerated learning methods to your training, be it management skills, technical, product or safety.

Accelerated Learning has been found to increase rates of learning by a factor of 2 to 3. Amongst the distinctive elements of Accelerated Learning are:

  • Making maximum use of all of the natural learning abilities we possess, in a structured and flexible way.
  • Using methods developed from brain research to facilitate learning, allowing learners to use more of their abilities and develop underused learning skills.
  • Communicating and learning on several different levels at once, maximising the impact for learner and organisation.
  • Using the idea of Multiple Intelligences to allow all students to learn effectively, whatever their individual preferences and skills.
  • Maintaining a total focus on the learners' ability to apply new learning in real situations.

Mark McKergow has been applying these ideas to learning and training situations since 1991. With his science background, Mark has explored all kinds of ideas and methods over the years. In this acclaimed workshop he both explains and demonstrates a whole set of ideas and influences which are both coherent and will equip you for your nexet learning, training and facilitation challenges.

"Your programmes have had a huge impact on the quality of our training."
