Peer consultation is a powerful method that allows colleagues to learn from each other's experiences on an equal footing. In this course you discover how to set up worthwhile peer consultation meetings, guide a group, and arrive together at concrete insights and new behaviour.

Description

More and more organisations are asking staff to work independently and in a self-directed way. As a result, direct contact with colleagues on the work floor is decreasing, while the need to exchange experiences is actually growing. Peer consultation offers a fitting answer to this.

In this course you are introduced to peer supervision as a method in which colleagues come together on a voluntary and equal basis to learn from each other. You work with a clear structure and a range of models and working methods, which makes every session varied and instructive. You work on personal cases from your own working practice: from professional issues to questions about personal performance.

You learn how to set up, facilitate and deepen a peer consultation meeting. Topics covered include the preconditions and ground rules, the role of the peer consultation facilitator, formulating the working question, conversation techniques, constructive confrontation, and giving and receiving feedback. The process is enquiring and reflective in nature, and produces concrete tools that you can apply directly in your own team.

The course is practice-oriented: you experience for yourself what peer supervision means, in a small group and in a safe learning environment.

For teams and organisations. If you want to introduce peer supervision in your team, we also run this course in-company, so that the team learns the method together.

Topics

During this course the following topics, among others, are covered:

  • What is peer consultation and what does it bring you?
  • The right start mode: mindfulness
  • Preconditions for peer consultation: rules and agreements
  • The role of the peer consultation facilitator
  • Different peer consultation methods: when do you choose which format?
  • The question behind the question: formulating a good working question
  • Breaking free from entrenched patterns of thinking and behaviour
  • Applying conversation techniques
  • Constructive confrontation, giving and receiving feedback
  • Reflecting on the process
  • Mutual understanding and support within the group
  • Drawing up a concrete action plan

Result

After this course you will know what peer supervision involves and what role the peer supervision facilitator plays. You will be able to set up a peer supervision group independently, because you have experienced for yourself during the course how it works. You will know how to introduce peer supervision within your organisation and how to respond to the group process in your team. You will also have become acquainted with various working methods, conversation techniques and ways of giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Target audience

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to set up or facilitate a peer consultation group. You will probably recognise yourself in one or more of these points:

You want to teach staff to work together better towards a common goal, you want to increase mutual trust within your team, you want to develop your communication skills and coaching qualities further, you want to gain a clear picture of the relationships and group processes within your team, so that you can work on change in a targeted way.

Do you work hybrid or largely remotely? Then peer supervision offers extra value: it brings structure and connection to a team that meets less naturally in the workplace.

The course is suitable for anyone who wants to introduce and facilitate peer supervision in a team.

Teaching method

This course centres on 'doing and experiencing'. You work actively with peer consultation methods by practising peer consultation sessions yourself under the guidance of an experienced trainer. This way you notice straight away how it works and what it delivers.

Before the course, the trainer holds an intake interview with you to clarify your personal learning objectives. Based on this, the trainer puts together the final programme, so that the content matches your day-to-day practice.

We work in a small group of no more than eight participants. This creates a safe atmosphere in which you can calmly experiment with new conversation techniques, give and receive feedback, and reflect on your own role. We alternate theory with exercises, case studies from your own work and group assignments.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required for this course. Are you interested in peer consultation and would you like to learn how to facilitate or set up a peer consultation group within your team or organisation? Then you are very welcome.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

Peer Supervision course: learning with and from each other: average 8.5 from 18 reviews

“There was enough variety in the course and the content was handled flexibly. Nothing was covered simply because it 'had to be'. The trainer clearly knows her subject. She was able to explain everything well and clearly so that everyone understood it. Nor did she move on to another topic if someone was not yet entirely clear. She also gave me as a participant the confidence to apply what I had learnt myself during the course.”

“The content was extremely instructive. My aim was to learn how to run a peer supervision session myself. I still find it daunting, but I have gained so much to draw on that I feel confident and dare to deliver a course myself. The trainer is very experienced and has broad knowledge of peer supervision techniques and of the human psyche. The trainer added great value; thanks to her way of working these were two fantastic days. Days with a golden edge. It feels like a gift to yourself.”

“An excellent basic course for the novice peer supervision facilitator. For more depth, for instance on probing questions and varying working methods, a follow-up is worthwhile. So I'm looking forward to the planned 'reunion day' – peer supervision for the peer supervision facilitator, you might say.”

Who is the Peer Consultation course suitable for and what prior knowledge do you need?
The Intervision course is suitable for anyone who wants to facilitate or set up an intervision group within a team or organisation. Think of team leaders, HR professionals, coaches and employees who want to help colleagues learn from each other's experiences. No prior knowledge is required: you do not need experience with intervision or coaching. An open, reflective attitude and the wish to improve communication and group processes are enough.
How large is the group on the Peer Consultation course and what is the approach?
The group for the Intervision course consists of a maximum of eight participants, so that there is enough room for personal attention and interaction. An intake takes place beforehand in which the trainer identifies your learning objectives. The programme is active in nature: you learn by doing and experiencing in a safe training atmosphere, spread across classroom sessions.
Which topics are covered during the Intervision course?
During the Peer Consultation course you cover, among other things, the role of the peer consultation facilitator, different peer consultation methods and formats, formulating the question behind the question, conversation techniques, constructive confrontation and giving and receiving feedback. You also learn to reflect on the process, to break free from entrenched patterns of thinking and to draw up a concrete action plan.
Do you receive a certificate after Learnit's Intervision course?
Yes, after completing the course Peer Supervision: learning with and from each other, you will receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This shows that you have taken the course and gained the skills to set up and facilitate a peer supervision group. The certificate is a valuable addition to your professional development and CV.
Can you also take the Peer Supervision course in-company at Learnit?
Yes, the course Peer Supervision: learning with and from each other is also available in-company. You then take the course with your own team at a location of your choice, so that you work directly with recognisable cases from your own working practice. The programme is tailored to your team's learning objectives. The course is delivered in a classroom format and the duration is adapted to your team's requirements.
When should you choose Learnit's Intervision course instead of starting an intervision group with colleagues yourself?
Starting on your own works perfectly well if your team already has experience with structured reflection and someone naturally takes on the facilitator role. In practice, a self-organised peer consultation group often gets stuck on three points: unclear working questions, superficial feedback and a facilitator who joins the discussion too much instead of safeguarding the process. The Learnit course focuses on exactly those points. You practise with various peer consultation methods (such as the incident method and the gossip method), learn to formulate the question behind the question and are given tools for constructive confrontation. You also experience peer consultation yourself in a group of no more than eight participants, so that you know how it feels before you start facilitating. Choose the course if you are going to be responsible for setting up or facilitating peer consultation within your organisation. You will find the costs on the course page.
What is the difference between Learnit's Peer Consultation course and a Coaching Leadership or Giving Feedback course?
The Peer Consultation course focuses specifically on facilitating structured learning conversations between colleagues on an equal footing. You learn to apply different peer consultation methods, to formulate the real question behind the question and to reflect on the group process. A Coaching Leadership course deals with the one-to-one relationship between manager and employee, with a focus on steering and development. A Giving Feedback course mainly covers conversation techniques at individual level. Peer consultation combines elements of both, but adds something: facilitating a group of colleagues who support each other, without hierarchy. You are given practical tools to set up and facilitate a peer consultation group yourself within your organisation. Choose Peer Consultation if you want to facilitate collective learning in teams rather than individual coaching.
How do I know whether I am ready to facilitate a peer consultation group after Learnit's Peer Consultation course?
You are ready to facilitate a peer consultation group if, after the course (per person, classroom-based), you can maintain the basic structure of a peer consultation session, formulate a working question clearly and apply conversation techniques such as probing and constructive confrontation. During the course you practise in a peer consultation group of no more than eight participants, so you experience the facilitator's role in practice. For straightforward peer consultation within a safe team, that is generally enough. For complex group dynamics or heavily charged cases, additional experience or a coaching background is advisable. The course gives you the framework and the formats; you build up routine by facilitating sessions yourself within your own organisation.
Which peer supervision methods will I learn during Learnit's Peer Supervision course, and when do you apply which method?
During Learnit's Peer Consultation course you work with various peer consultation methods and formats. The choice of method depends on the type of issue and the aim of the session. For clearly defined, subject-specific matters you apply a more structured method; for personal or behavioural issues you choose a format that allows room for reflection and patterns. You also learn how to formulate the working question behind the original question, as this often determines which method yields the most. In addition, you practise conversation techniques, constructive confrontation, and giving and receiving feedback. The course is classroom-based and has a maximum of 8 participants, so that you experience each format yourself before applying it in your own team.
How does peer consultation differ from a team coaching session or an ordinary work meeting evaluation?
Peer supervision, team coaching and work meetings may look alike, but they differ fundamentally in purpose, structure and division of roles. In peer supervision, colleagues come together on a voluntary and equal footing to discuss cases relating to their own practice. There is no manager present and no external coach: participants guide one another using a fixed method, with a facilitator role rotating within the group. Team coaching is led by an external coach who steers on group dynamics and collaboration. A work meeting or evaluation focuses on operational matters and decision-making, not on reflection. Learnit's Peer Supervision course (classroom, max. 8 participants) teaches you to work with various peer supervision methods, to formulate the question behind the question and to guide the group process. You therefore learn to set up and facilitate a peer supervision group yourself, without depending on an external coach.
What exactly do I need in order to get started with a group within my organisation straight after Learnit's Peer Supervision course?
To start straight after the course (classroom), you need four things. One: a mandate from your organisation or manager to free up colleagues in the schedule, because peer consultation works on a voluntary and equal footing. Two: a group of four to eight participants at a comparable level of work, so that cases are recognisable. Three: clear preconditions. A fixed frequency, confidentiality, ground rules for the conversation and a fixed location. Four: a chosen peer consultation method that suits the first case, for example the incident method for concrete work questions. During the course you practise as a facilitator yourself, learn to formulate work questions sharply and are given working formats. Bringing your own case to day two speeds up application immediately afterwards.
What does the Peer Supervision course cost and how long does it take?
