WELCOME TO ART OF LEARNING

Unlocking Potential Through Training E verything we do, we do because we believe that those we care for deserve the best, and the best requires good training. We just happen to be qualified nurses that are trauma-informed and neurodivergent trainers. Unlocking Potential… There is untapped potential within individuals that can be brought to light and harnessed. It emphasizes the idea that everyone has unique talents, skills, and abilities that, with the right opportunities and support, can be unlocked and utilized for personal and collective growth. …Through Training The inclusion of "through training" underscores the importance of education, skill development, and learning experiences. It suggests that training programs and educational initiatives are the means by which potential can be unlocked. This can encompass a wide range of activities, from formal education to vocational training and professional development. Art of Learning - What is it? Holistic Education: A reflection and emphasis on a well-rounded education that goes beyond simple ‘learning by rote’ memorisation and standardised testing. Our sessions involve nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence alongside academic achievement. Lifelong Learning: "The Art of Learning" also underscores the idea that learning is a continuous and lifelong process. It extends beyond formal education and includes self-directed learning, personal development, and adapting to new challenges throughout one's life. Life skills! Innovative Learning Approaches: The use of "art" in the name implies a creative and innovative approach to learning. This involves incorporating various teaching methods, technologies and experiential learning to make the educational process more engaging and effective. Individualised Learning Paths: We believe that in a move away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to training Instead, we promote personalised learning paths that consider individual strengths, abilities, interests, and learning styles. Cultivation of Skills: " The Art of Learning " might also focus on the development of practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge. This could include skills relevant to the modern workplace, such as communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and adaptability. We are fully insured & GDPR compliant. Those four words in the tag-line, Unlocking Potential Through Training are what we’re all about. We combine knowledge, skills, experience and ability to encourage personal and professional development and growth, through offering a quality learning experience through Training.

Feedback

How it all began…. By wanting to make a difference to peoples lives. Liz started her career as a carer in various settings, before deciding to become a nurse seven years later. Her training career began when she became disillusioned with the poor standards of care and lack of standardisation of care training that seemed to largely prevail throughout the care sector. Feeling the lack of support with her own neurodivergence, and fearing that other staff might also feel somewhat handicapped, Liz turned to Neuroscience and Humanism-based training as her preferred method of delivery, and, frustrated by a heartfelt passion for person-centred care that many care companies appeared to preach but not practice, Liz established AoL Training to promote and train others in the core principles by which she is driven. Liz writes, designs and compiles courses to a range of criteria set by either the client or external agencies and awarding bodies. We aim to be the best at what we do and help change the face of Care one establishment at a time. So why use ‘Art of Learning’? At AoL, we realise that both training and learning are both as much art forms as science! Study after study indicates that employees who don’t have opportunities to learn and grow in their organization are more likely to be disengaged, disconnected and looking for better prospects elsewhere. Good training has the power to improve employees’ experience throughout their career journey. Offering opportunities for growth, collaboration and connection through training can keep employees engaged, increase job satisfaction and improve retention.
