2.2 Distance Coach Training
Leadership The EPL Way offers a distance training option for those too far from Johannesburg.
How will it work?
- The ideal would be to attend a four day training school in Johannesburg. If this is not possible, a number of additional tele-classes or Skype sessions will be included
- Thereafter participants can take part in weekly one-hour tele-classes or possibly Skype sessions for further guidance. The frequency and number of tele-classes or Skype sessions will be determined by participant needs
- Assignments can be sent in by email. The gap analysis coaching session could possibly be conducted via Skype. The same applies for the theoretical and practical assessments.

Training Strategies
A mixed method delivery model will be used. The following integrated training methods will be included during the programme:
1. Interactive facilitation consisting of the principles of effective facilitation, e.g.
- explanation and discussion of core ideas or concepts
- previewing – telling the group where they are going
- questioning and feedback
- group discussions
- keeping the energy flowing by means of variation, activities, dialogue, relevant content, etc.
2. Experiential learning through e.g.
- question and answer technique
- questionnaires
- case studies
- activities during training such as SWOT analysis
3. Self-directed learning by means of
- assignments
- self-reflection exercises during the programme
- individual mentoring during the programme when needed
- completion of Portfolio of Evidence through assignments
4. Multi-media
Leadership The EPL Way is known for its application of a multi-media approach including e.g.
- powerpoint
- models and model building
- hands-on activities to illustrate theoretical concepts
- break-away group discussions and group problem solving or group learning
- personal reflection
5. Group Tele-classes (if needed)
Group tele-classes could be included to accommodate long distance participants or to minimise in-class meetings
6. Mentoring
- Individual support and guidance will be available during and after completion of the programme
7. Didactical sensitivity
Due to the educational background of the course leader, special emphasis is given to effective didactical principles such as…
- a systematic and a clearly structured programme
- work from the big picture to the detail
- work from what is known to participants (their world) to what is to be mastered
- being outcome driven and goal directed
- apply adult learning principles, e.g.
- adults are interested in solution focus as well as information gathering
- adults are serious learners once they buy in and are convinced
- adults take a while to unlearn old habits and beliefs – therefore one needs a patient but powerful
approach based on thorough knowledge
- a practical functional approach by visual models and real life case studies
Training Venues
The ILPC head office is situated in Auckland Park, Johannesburg. As such most of the training will take place in the Johannesburg area. However, depending on the residential area of the majority of participants, the programme could potentially be presented in venues close to the majority of participants.
