Practical problem solving for groups
Action Learning Sets are a group of 5-7 people who come together to find practical ways of addressing the ‘real life’ challenges they face, and to support their own learning and development. The set are supported by a trained facilitator who guides the process.
Yes, and also face to face. It's equally suitable for both options.
For more information on the differences between online and face to face training, visit our
Learning and Development page.
If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).

Set members are encouraged to find their own solutions through a structured process of insightful questioning combined with a balance of support and challenge from the group.
We can provide action learning sets as an individual high impact session or as part of a rolling programme where set members learn to facilitate each other.
