Philosophy and Beliefs Brilliance Business School believes that the learning program is a team sport of 3 gears; Learning as a process, Learner as an individual and Brilliance Business School as an educator. In order to get the utmost benefit out of the learning event, each gear has to be functioning effectively in compatibility with the other two. Brilliance has a set of philosophies and beliefs for each one of the three components. Learning as a process: Learning is not a torturing process as some tried to practice on us in the old days. Learning is fun and brain sport. Learning has limited value unless it is put in practice. Learning is not a spoon-feeding. It’s about how to find the spoon by your own. Sometimes to invent it. Learning is a quest with no ceilings, boundaries or walls. The Participant as an individual: The Participant has potential capacities and abilities that need a skilful coach to unleash them. The Participant has different needs, attitudes, complications and unique individuality that we just need to understand and respect. The Participant has the right to think freely and express his/her opinion without stepping into others' zones. Brilliance Business School as an educator: We eliminate what is common about the erroneous concepts of learning that have been practiced on us – as students - for years. We inspire, encourage and motivate you for learning. If you decide to turn it down, it’s your own choice. We will not teach you, we will be giving you an opportunity to learn. No one will attack you for your own thinking and beliefs. You can express yourself the way you want, just beware not to violate others' freedom as well. We will not control you on what to think, we will guide you on how to think. You are here by your choice! You can leave by your choice – as long as you have the freedom to make your decision, you are responsible for the consequences. We will be like the “Alchemist”! ©Brillinance Business School Profile 4 Section II: Learning Concepts We strongly believe that learning event for our learners has to be an influential experience that leaves a positive impact that accompanies them in their professional and personal lives. Unlike other training programs, delivering information to acquire knowledge is not only our cornerstone. Beside the well known wide variety of methods of interactive approaches in “Andragogy” (Adult Learning) that include role plays, case studies, group exercises, business simulation and open discussions, we depend intensively on three learning techniques; continuous facilitation, immediate practice for delivered knowledge and individual and group coaching. Continuous facilitation, immediate practice and Individual and group coaching allow learners to apply the knowledge acquired, demonstrate the right approaches and coached upon any inappropriate practice. Accordingly, learners are exposed to safe influential learning experience that enables them to transfer the skills gained in the event to their workplace to do their tasks effectively and efficiently. Brilliance Learning Methodology – Cycle of Extending Learning Capacity “ELC” The Cycle of “Extending Learning Capacity” is built on a main skeleton that shows seven steps (beside step zero) where the cycle goes through. It starts by inspiring learner’s to influence his/her Attitude to gain the learner’s initial acceptance and remove barriers for the Extending Learning Capacity Cycle. Learner’s willingness to learn is an asset for learning ELC. Then providing the foundation of knowledge of the program in hand, show how this knowledge is applied, practice it to get its practical dimension in order to be developed as a skill afterwards, then transfer this skill to professional and personal various situations. Accordingly, learner’s performance is raised and ultimately his/her Learning Capacity is extended and allows the cycle to be repeated again and again in infinite pattern. “Extending Learning Capacity” Cycle depends on a main skeleton consists of seven steps, beside the initial step Zero, as follows, Inspire learners’ attitude to the learning process 0 Attitude 1 Knowledge 2 Applied Knowledge 3 Practice 4 Skill By continuous Practice, skills is developed 5 Transfer To the professional and personal situation 6 Performance 7 Learning Capacity ©Brillinance Business School Profile Provide knowledge as foundation for learning Show how the provided knowledge works Practice knowledge to get the practical dimension Performance is improved and enhanced Learning capacity is extended to build more 5 Cycle of Extending Learning Capacity “ELC” The Cycle of “Extending Learning Capacity” based on the importance of collaboration of both parties; the Trainer and the Learner. It requires mutual effort. Thus, two parallel loops (i.e. cycles) are taking place at the same time to form the integrated “Extending Learning Capacity” Cycle; one loop goes for the role of the Trainer and other for the Learner – illustrated in the following figure: The Trainer’s role The Learner’s role Attitude 0. Inspire the learner’s perception to learn 1. Provide the needed knowledge 2. Demonstrate how knowledge is applied Knowledge Applied Knowledge 3. Coach on learners’ practice Practice 4. Develop the learners’ skill Skill 5. Facilitate on how skill is used in other professional and personal situations Transfer Performance 6. Reinforce the desired performance 7. Build On more new knowledge and start the loop again Learning Capacity 0. Influenced to the learning process 1. Acquire the knowledge provided 2. Comprehend how knowledge is applied 3. Participate in practice 4. Gain the skill 5. Link how skill is used on professional and personal situations. 6. Improve his/her performance 7. Extend to acquire new knowledge and start the loop again At the same time, the “Extending Learning Capacity” plays as an implied agreement for the roles of the two parties to know their roles they are going to play and the responsibilities they are going to share. The Cycle of Extending Learning Capacity “ELC” The Trainer’s Role ©Brillinance Business School Profile The Learner’s Role 6 Section III: Brilliance Diplomas Professional Diplomas are different from Academic Diplomas.
