The Experience
Theory
First, you will watch short videos presenting theoretical discussion & exploration of each teaching point.
Assimilation
After viewing the videos a quick review and Q&A reinforce the assimilation & retention of the teaching points. In addition, each of the 3 Modules has a “Final Exam,” which will be scored as part of the Final Exam for the course. (To qualify for your Course Certificate, you must score 80% on the Final exam.)
Experiential
Empathy Games® interactive exercises are provided to deepen the learning process and integrate the didactic discussion on an organic & practical level. These practice experientials will prepare you to start applying the theory immediately.
Feedback
You will be given the opportunity to provide your personal feedback upon completion of the course, which we greatly appreciate.
