Accelerated Learning
“Accelerated Learning is not about teaching different information to your clients, students and learners.
It’s about presenting your information differently, so they learn more, better, and faster and have a whole lot more fun doing it.
It’s about enhancing your training with Accelerated Learning Methodology so your results are better and your students learn and retain more.
It’s about you being better, getting better results, better feedback and as a consequence, winning more contracts, based on your results!” Ray Jamieson
Workplace Training
Remember those seminars and training programs you attended, where you were bored witless after an hour, after two hours you were angry at what was piling up in your office, and by the end of the day, you could hardly remember a thing that had happened all day except that you were bored and angry?
And next week, someone asked you about the training program, and you couldn’t remember
- what it was about, or
- who the trainer was!
That was NOT an Accelerated Learning Training Program!
What is Accelerated Learning?
Accelerated Learning is an approach to imparting knowledge through training, teaching, couching and counselling that has the outcome of much better absorption of new and evolving knowledge, in a much faster time-frame, with greater retention and recall when required, with the added benefit of that knowledge imprint being almost permanent.
It is whole mind and body experiential learning, using all the senses and emotions to receive the learning, enabling environmental triggers to access the learning as it is required, without the person consciously trying to remember it – the learning experience is already there, when they need it. It’s also enjoyable; a lot of fun to experience and to teach with.
Accelerated Learning really began with Professor Dr Georgi Lozanov in the 1950s. It was in 1966 he established the Suggestology Research Institute, working with what he called it at the time, Suggestopedia, a combination of the relevant words Suggestion and Pedagogy. Professor Lozanov was achieving results such as students learning a whole new language in a weekend, and other equally incredible outcomes. Because of his results, it became commonly known as Accelerated Learning soon after.
As technology advanced rapidly in the two decades before and since the turn of the 21st Century, online and technology based learning overtook Accelerated Learning methodology. Learners todays can expect to be learning on laptops, iPads and online when they enroll on a new course. However, the drop-off and non-completion rates are high, and retention rates are lower, although the cost of online learning compared to face-to-face learning is also much lower.
Now, as we near the end of the second decade of the 21st century, employers, parents, students and clients are demanding more and better educational outcomes from educational institutions and training courses. Put simply, they need results. They need the learning to ‘stick’ with the learners and they need the learners to be able to recall that information when they need it, on the job.
Unfortunately, whilst online learning enables people to gain the certificate quickly and conveniently – sometimes at home or after work, it cannot ever provide the quality and depth of learning that a skilled facilitator in a face to face learning environment can provide. If that facilitator is also an Accelerated Learning trainer, the differences in quality of outcomes are even greater – Accelerated Learning is the most powerful way to impart quality education to learners. This is now being recognised by more employers, trainers, coaches, counselors and training organisations, who require results from their learners, as well as their qualification.
Who could benefit from being trained in Accelerated Learning?
In broad terms, people who need to coach, counsel or impart knowledge, training, mentoring or information of most kinds to anyone else. Accelerated Learning does not modify the content of the learning material, it only enhances the delivery of it.
Specifically, those people could include:
- Coaches, life and business coaching
- Trainers – face-to-face or blended training
- Safety trainers
- Counselors
- Supervisors
- Job search trainers, coaches or advisors
- Not For Profit volunteer leaders or team leaders
- Training or Employment Organisations relying on better results to be awarded competitive training contracts
- Schools and Educational Institutions wanting better outcomes for their students through more effective teachers
