It will be based on the very successful training we gave in January and September 2018, but with a few improvements.
The first two days, 8-9 April, will comprise a comprehensive short course, Elicitation with SHELF. This course will cover the principles of expert elicitation and the SHELF method, together with practical considerations in planning and running a SHELF elicitation workshop.
The key role in the SHELF method is that of the facilitator. The third day, Advanced Facilitation on 10 April, will be an intensive, small group, hands-on session for participants who wish to be trained to act as facilitators. Each trainee will gain practical experience of facilitating a SHELF elicitation workshop, using carefully designed and realistic scenarios. Trainees will also gain experience in another important role, that of recorder.
Course fees are £575 for Elicitation with SHELF and £1600 for Advanced Facilitation, including refreshments and lunches.
The venue is in the centre of Sheffield, and in addition to the Leopold Hotel there are several other hotels nearby.
Elicitation with SHELF will begin at 0930 on Monday, 8 April, with registration and refreshments available from 0900. This course will end no later than 1700 on Tuesday, 9 April.
The Advanced Facilitation day will begin at 0845, with registration and refreshments available from 0830, and will end no later than 1815.
