Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
- 1 Understanding Arguments
- 2 Logical Reasoning
SECTION 1
In this first section, we focus on arguments - in the philosophical sense. Rather than being an angry exchange of insults, an argument means stating a belief and then giving reasons as to why it should be believed by others. This section will look at good and bad arguments and the structure of an argument.
SECTION 2
In the second section, we look at practical ways in which staff can use critical thinking to strengthen their arguments and make them more effective. This will include asking questions, getting organised, evaluating and drawing conclusions.
About this course
Critical thinking is the ability to analyse a specific situation and make a professional judgement. Whether that be an issue that has occurred and needs solving, or a discovery that needs explaining.
The CPD Accredited course provides the user with tips on how to avoid common thinking mistakes that lead to roadblocks when it comes to finding a solution or answer to their issue.
The course is suitable for all levels of staff and will help strengthen your team's ability to tackle unique problems in the workplace.

Common sense but very well presented
The speaker was clear, the content well structured and generally it was very slick, but i felt the subject matter was pretty basic and a lot of it was common sense
Challenge your preconceptions.
This was a good, clear module with a clear message about how much our own preconceptions and beliefs can influence our opinions and that we must challenge ourselves about them. I enjoyed it. Not sure I learnt all that much but then I am quite ancient and have come across all sorts of training like this. But it would be useful to people starting out in the career.
An excellent course.
Simple and effective training.

Why is this training important?
Business benefits
Most of the time, critical thinkers are the ones who make the best decisions. They analyse their situation/issue and make an informed decision, rather than making a decision without any mental tinkering.
In the workplace, where days are full of tasks to be completed, problems to be solved, and information to be communicated effectively, critical thinkers are extremely valuable to both their employers and their colleagues.
Finally, being able to demonstrate an ability to solve problems, and in turn, achieving goals, will help to boost the confidence of everyone in the workplace.
