Action Learning Facilitator Accreditation Programme


The Action Learning Facilitator Accreditation (ALFA) programme is based on the highly successful Action Learning Question process which has been used by many leading organisations, business schools and professional associations as a means of linking organisational strategy with individual and team learning. First established in 2002 the ALFA programme is now offered with postgraduate level accreditation.  Success of the approach has been reported in professional and academic articles based on application to a range of commercial and business sectors including:
  • Early years childcare & education
  • Financial services
  • Global outsourcing
  • Public service provision.
"The Action Learning Questions approach used in the ALFA programme is first class. This sets it apart from other Action Learning facilitators programmes. It led me to re-evaluate my role as a facilitator in a way I wouldn't have done otherwise, and as a result, I have made changes and improvements to my facilitation approach which have resulted in significant benefits for me and my clients. In addition to the learning from the Action Learning Facilitator Questions researched on the programme, there has also been considerable "spin off" learning from the insights gained which have been fascinating and motivational. There has been a significant return on investment from my point of view" Andy Radka, Consultant
