Hilltop is an experiential learning centre. We
have tutors with TDLB 32 Assessor qualifications
and a wide experience in commercial, educational, industrial
and leisure spheres.
Hilltop's style is based on an appropriate balance
of indoor and outdoor activities which allow delegates to
develop functional business and interpersonal skills, aswell
as having fun. Outdoor tasks provide practical
learning in an environment that may be unfamiliar, creating
real intellectual and team challenge.Indoor Exercises are mostlypractical
using recognised training material such as MTAand Airlift,
aswell as home grown tasks. We operate an environment which
is risk free, both physically and emotionally. Our aims are,
however, appropriate honesty and real development of individuals
and teams.
Outdoor pursuits may be included in the programme. These may
be used as a break from the course, may be part of a simulation,
used as a metaphor for management skills such as support, development,
communication, facing new challenges, coaching etc. Underlying
any such use is our intent to develop confidence, assertiveness
and self esteem of each person. We also find that these activities
offer the opportunity to break down barriers that classroom
style teaching may leave intact.
Our tasks and business simulations are tailored to group skill
levels and can be adjusted throughout the simulation to increase
the challenge to delegates. We understand that the needs of
groups differ and we ensure course leaders adopt an appropriate
style. Through liaison with our clients we have developed a
series of discreet course for each target group.
