Short courses are effective instruments for continuous professional and adult education.
Short courses distinguish themselves from long term courses and educational programmes not only by the length of the activity but also the format and type of training offered. Typically they are interactive, build on the participants experience and emphasise facilitation rather than teaching.
With increasing emphasis on continuing education trainers and educators find themselves required to organise and implement short courses while often they may lack experience in managing such activities. This guide provides a brief summary of the points to consider.
The organisation of short courses can be a lot of work and you need to get it right. The success of the course comes as much from the organisation as the content.
