An e-LCET review of the Greenline Conversations elearning course
The Greenline Conversations course teaches the learner about relationships and conversations in the workplace. It focuses on how to have effective conversations which achieve shared goals, and avoid having time-wasting conversations which are not productive.
To provide this understanding the Greenline course uses coaching techniques and psychological research via audio, video, illustrations and knowledge-reinforcement tests to provide a genuinely interesting and useful piece of high-level learning.
The course has been in development for 5 years and has been adapted from a traditional classroom environment. It is a tried and tested piece of extremely effective learning.
