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.

Very easy to follow
Loved the way the course was broken down in to 10 smaller chunks to keep the audience interested and engaged, also liked the fact you could go back and watch again, which I did, because during the 15 mins my doorbell went and I missed a critical section which actually led to me not reading the question right and answering it wrong
As the statement below
This course was not as good as a lot of the other courses in my opinion
Great course
The gives me more skills to use within my work role and personal life
Useful way to think
Slightly too abstract to apply easily? Good though

Awful, so basic and short!
This user gave this course a rating of 1/5 stars
It was ok
I am already doing what was shown in the video and I think it is common sense to work this way. I don't feel this training showed me anything I wasn't already aware of as I have had to use this way of thinking with ,y previous experience of drafting letters to MPs and public complaint letters where I have to look at all the evidence, evaluate what the evidence shows and provide a honest conclusion to the question asked (belief).
