GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
STYLISH & SUPPORTING MATERIAL
Our material supporting the learning experiences is recently adapted to the current norms for educational
material and has a fresh and dynamic appearance, inline with modern pedagogic concepts. The material is very
visual to make concepts stick better (1 image says more than 1,000 words!).
“STORY-TELLING”
An important but often under-used pedagogical technique is “story-telling”. It is however proven that people
become more attentive when (real-life experience) stories are shared rather than hearing theoretical concepts
being explained. Our learning experiences are full of stories which are directly taken from real project experiences.
DIVERSIFIED APPROACH
Our learning experiences do not make use of a linear and undiversified approach where solely “ex-cathedra”
lecturing is provided. The time of the learning experiences is on average spread as follows: 40% exercises, 25%
knowledge sharing amongst participants, 20% story telling and 15% introduction of theoretical concepts.

“AGILE” LEARNING
Our coach always implements the “Agile” learning principle. This implies that, to a certain extent and when
relevant, the training scenario can be modified -“à la minute”- to the specific needs, concerns and questions of
the participants. As such, the learning experience is continuously tailored to the participants, making the
content as relevant as possible..
NO SINGLE DULL MOMENT!
By making use of different multimedia, such as video clips, but also the use of polling software to organize group
discussion as well as participative presentations, there is no room for a single dull moment or boredom. The
engagement of the participants is crucial for a successful learning and is therefore an attention point for our
coaches.

MULTIPLE DAY FORMATS
When a learning experience stretches over multiple days, it can be
organized in a consecutive set of days. However, in order not to
burden the participants agenda, we always suggest to spread it in
an one day per week or month sequence.

LECTURING
Classroom format with a coach that is actively present to continuously support the participants. At the choice of
the client, all learning experiences can be delivered in English or Dutch. Dutch, English, French and German are
also supported when a participant feels more comfortable to interact in those languages.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE MATERIAL
All our materials are created in English. Participants will receive the used presentation material in PDF format
on a personal 16 GB USB stick. This USB stick contains additional project management reference materials.
GOODIES
All participants will receive stationary which they can take away home. They will also receive a GAPS branded
wearable as well as a personal certificate to prove their attendance.
