Corporate and Education Groups

Fourth Dimension has organised these courses for 20 years. We have a refreshing and personal approach to planning and facilitating your course, without making pre-conceptions or assumptions about your requirements.

No formats are set. You, not us, decide the content, location and duration of our input. We will only form up a proposal for your delegates when we know your exact aims for the course. Otherwise, we can only provide what we think you need, which will almost certainly be different from what you actually want. The person who meets you for initial discussions will always be the person who organises and facilitates the course, thus ensuring consistency and continuity in every phase.

Corporate courses can develop existing and on-going in house training programmes. Courses for Educational establishments can be designed around the aims and objectives of BTEC and (G)NVQ units: tell us your criteria and we will provide accordingly.

We are based just outside East Grinstead, West Sussex, within easy reach of the M23, M25 and the South Coast. However, we are a mobile organisation and will bring a course to your location or another venue of your choice. This mobility, and the accompanying flexibility makes us an excellent choice for your team training.

The Accumulation Tasks

Teams of between six and ten members compete to "accumulate" the greatest points total in the allotted time, typically between 4 and 8 hours.
This is done in two ways:

  • Initially, teams search the grounds for markers, using a specially prepared map. Each marker has a points value on it.
    Randomly placed are special "bonus" makers. When located, these allow the team to undertake a task which has a much greater earning potential.
  • There are over 30 different "bonus" tasks to choose from, depending on the requirements of the client, the aims of the day, and the time available. They include physical challenges such as abseiling, zipwires, high ropes and climbing. The mental challenges include tasks requiring a mixture of cerebral and physical skills.
  • For groups who prefer not to do the searching part of the accumulation task, these can be arranged as a “Round Robin”, with a wide range of tasks included.

Tasks are designed so that the whole team must contribute to ensure success. Physical challenges include a task to complete, so that not everyone needs to undertake the physical challenge.

Competition need not be the main emphasis, but it does add a certain sense of urgency and focus for the day.

The Aims

The task creates a powerful learning environment which can be used to develop a range of personal and team skill including:

    • Communication
    • Information Assimilation
    • Role and Skills Analysis
    • Planning
    • Performance Reviewing
    • Resource and Budget Management
    • Time Management
    • Interpersonal Skills
    • Leadership

Most importantly , the task is highly enjoyable, which is a well established criteria for learn. Also, the leading is experienced and learner directed, which makes it very powerful.

During the day, team members will experience many emotions, from frustration to fulfilment and anxiety to pleasure. They must consider their own and others feelings, ideas and aims in order to develop a successful team.
