Frequently asked questions about Group Dynamics in-company

Where does the Group Dynamics in-company course take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Group Dynamics in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1250,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

Who is the Group Dynamics course suitable for?
The Group Dynamics course is suitable for managers, team leaders, project managers, process facilitators and HR professionals who want to gain insight into group processes and strengthen their team. You will learn to analyse group interaction, recognise team roles and intervene effectively. The classroom course No specific prior education is required; work experience in a role in which you facilitate groups is an advantage.
Which topics are covered in the Group Dynamics course?
In the Group Dynamics course you cover topics including group formation, team roles, interaction patterns, motivating at group level, giving feedback, dealing with resistance and intervening effectively. You also learn how to create safety and trust within your team and how to strike a balance between individual attention and group attention. The course is classroom-based and is taught in groups of no more than eight participants.
What is the approach of the Group Dynamics course?
The Group Dynamics course has a maximum of eight participants. Beforehand, the trainer holds an intake interview to map out your personal learning objectives and tailor the programme. During the course the work is mainly active: you practise group interaction, interventions and feedback in a safe atmosphere, so that you can apply what you have learned directly to your own team.
Do you receive a certificate after the Group Dynamics course?
Yes, after completing the Group Dynamics course you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This certificate shows that you attended the full classroom course and gained knowledge about group formation, team roles, intervention techniques and guiding group processes. You can add the certificate to your LinkedIn profile or portfolio to make your development as a manager or process facilitator visible.
Can the Group Dynamics course also be taken in-company?
Yes, the Group Dynamics course can also be delivered in-company, at your organisation's premises. This is worth considering if you want to work on group processes, team roles and intervention techniques with an entire team or with several managers at once. The content then ties in directly with situations within your team. Contact us for a tailored quotation including dates, group size and programme.
What will I learn in the Group Dynamics course that I cannot get from a book or an e-learning?
You only really see group dynamics when you are in the middle of them. In this classroom course (maximum eight participants) you practise live with group processes that a book can only describe. You experience first-hand how interaction patterns arise, how resistance feels and how an intervention plays out in the group. The trainer observes your behaviour and gives immediate feedback on how you come across as a process facilitator. Something an e-learning cannot do. You work with stages of group formation, team roles and the power of the minority in concrete practice situations. A book gives you theory about Tuckman or Belbin; this course gives you the ability to recognise group behaviour and adjust it the moment it occurs.
When should you choose the Group Dynamics course and when a Team Coaching or Leadership course?
The Group Dynamics course focuses specifically on analysing and influencing group processes: group phases, team roles, interaction patterns and intervention techniques. You learn what happens beneath the surface of a team and how you can intervene. Choose this course if you notice that your team is stuck in patterns, that subgroups are forming or that you are losing your grip on the atmosphere. A Team Coaching course goes a step further in guiding team development as an external role, while Leadership is broader and also covers directing, appraising and individual conversations. Group Dynamics lasts and is classroom-based, in groups of no more than eight participants. It is an in-depth choice for managers, project leaders and process facilitators who want to increase their analytical ability at group level.
How do I know whether I am ready for the Group Dynamics course, or whether it would be better to acquire some basic knowledge first?
The Group Dynamics course is suitable if you already have some experience of guiding or leading a group. No prior training is required, but you do need a practical situation in which you observe group processes. For example as a team leader, project leader, trainer or process facilitator. During the course you work with models such as group phases, team roles and interaction patterns, and you practise intervention techniques at group level. If you have never led a team, a course on basic leadership or communication may be a more logical starting point. Not sure? In the intake the trainer maps out your learning objectives and determines together with you whether the level is a good fit. The maximum group size is eight participants, which leaves room to bring in your own cases. You will find the investment on the course page.
