Teaching resources, methods and supervision techniques

Most employees or job-seekers who want to start their own business are often plagued by a number of prejudices that need to be corrected. Having a more accurate, "real-life" vision of what it's like to be an entrepreneur will enable them to adopt winning attitudes and make a success of their business start-up.

The teaching methods used in this training program are based on six e-books that provide a framework for the entire process of supporting individuals starting a business. The e-books contain texts, assessment questionnaires, and tests that training participants will learn to use by following this teaching method: they take the tests themselves, analyze the results collaboratively, and then apply what they’ve learned in role-playing exercises. 

Course Requirements

There are several possible organizational arrangements :

MEANS OF ORGANIZING FACE-TO-FACE TRAINING

The training will be conducted:

• At the ORIENTACTION offices in Le Mans.

METHODS FOR ORGANIZING DISTANCE LEARNING (SYNCHRONOUS)

• Training will be carried out via synchronous distance learning using the ZOOM tool,
• Links to ZOOM will be provided by the training center.

ASYNCHRONOUS DISTANCE LEARNING

Asynchronous distance learning is based on a set of reference materials provided to the trainee in advance and organized into four sections:

1. Books to read (recommended reading list),

2. Recommended filmographies,

3. Review of the manuals for the business startup support program,

4. Preparation of financial statements.

These documents should be reviewed prior to the in-person or synchronous online training session . 

Pedagogical and technical support and assistance

Educational support and technical assistance for distance learning are provided by the training department throughout the trainee’s program.

The training department is available to answer questions regarding the training process, the use of digital tools, access to educational resources, and any difficulties encountered during the training.

Requests can be submitted by email, and we will process them as soon as possible, or by phone in case of an emergency requiring immediate attention.

The full contact information for the training department is provided to the trainee upon signing the training contract and is also included in the welcome booklet provided at the start of the program. 

Means for monitoring action implementation and results

During the training, you :

• Fill in an attendance sheet and a satisfaction questionnaire to assess the quality of the training (trainer's pedagogical skills, quality of teaching aids, etc.),
• You will take a multiple-choice knowledge assessment at the end of the in-person or synchronous online training session to evaluate your level of knowledge upon completion of the training. 

People with disabilities

Training is open to all, and all types of disability will be taken into account, within the limits of the skills, human and material resources available for the training provided. If ORIENTACTION does not have the material, technical and human resources to meet the needs of a disabled participant, the latter will be referred either to the ORIENTACTION group's disability advisor, or to a partner organization in the ORIENTACTION network. 

Access procedures and deadlines

All training requests are accompanied by a quote specifying the total cost (including tax) of the training, as well as the dates on which it will take place. The quote is sent electronically via email. Once the quote has been accepted and the training contract or agreement has been signed, the training may begin after a minimum waiting period of 30 calendar days, which allows for remote training, among other things.
