How we teach

Structured training that has to survive Monday morning.

Programs are built around a repeatable applied-learning cycle. Participants are taught the skill, practise it, apply it to real work, and demonstrate what they can do.

01

Teach

Instructor-led frameworks, examples, tools and decision criteria.

02

Practice

Guided exercises before participants apply the skill to live work.

03

Apply

Structured workplace assignments tied to a real operating challenge.

04

Demonstrate

Participants produce evidence of learning and receive feedback against defined outcomes.

Employer training funding

Built as training — not consulting relabelled as training.

Courses are structured around defined learning outcomes, instructor-led teaching, guided practice, workplace application and participant evaluation.

Funding eligibility varies by province, employer, participant, course and training-provider requirements. Approval is determined by the applicable government program. Where appropriate, Eighty Twenty can provide a course outline, instructor information, dates, tuition quote and evaluation approach for an employer application.
