FocalVocal works on a one-to-one basis and with groups of up to twenty in England and abroad.

	Courses normally have one trainer and two actors and are split into four sections: Theory, Think Tank Theatre (a form of forum theatre), Role-Play exercises and evaluation and goal setting.

	If only actors are required for role-play work, more persons can be trained than the standard 20. Pilot days, at a reduced rate prior to the training day, can be offered, particularly helpful for assessment days.

	In-house courses last normally one day, are conducted at your premises and are videoed.

	Forum Theatre of up to an hour can be offered to up to 40 persons for no additional cost if a whole day training course is purchased for a minimum of 10 persons.

	If your time is limited, Forum Theatre can be offered:- this lasts half a morning or half an afternoon and consists of two actors and a trainer. The theatre piece is scripted to meet your specific training requirements. An indefinite number of persons can attend, thirty or more is possible. Useful when working on any face-to-face (or voice-to-voice) interaction between two or more people.

	Courses can be complemented with one-to-one or group coaching in personal effectiveness training.

	Follow-up days can be offered upon arrangement.

	Tailor made programmes to suit your specific needs.

	Weekend and weekday courses can be offered for in-house training and the general public at Frampton Court, a beautiful stately home in Gloucestershire, a favourite with Churchill and Pevsner alike.

	Courses are conducted in English but, to aid comprehension for non-English speakers, can be instantaneously translated into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Greek and British Sign Language.

	Theatre and role-play are integral to FocalVocal's method of training.
