Facilitator Guide
Complete delivery guidance for the four-week programme, including plain-language explanations, prompts, likely misconceptions, adaptations and quality checkpoints.
The complete delivery system
Ten core deliverables, engineered as one reusable package.
The learning materials, facilitator guidance, assessment tools and programme controls are designed together so that the experience remains practical, consistent, editable and ready for future LMS use.
Participant Workbook & Action Plan
A progressive working document that becomes the participant’s evidence record and next-step plan.
Detailed Session Plans
Timing, method, activities, materials, transitions, breaks, expected outputs and contingency options for every four-hour session.
Presentation Slides
Visual, low-text, facilitator-supported slides for each week, designed for readability and consistent use.
Worksheets & Templates
SWOT, PESTEL, customer profile, validation, research, business model, pricing, COGS, cash flow, break-even and legal-readiness tools.
Readiness Self-Evaluation
A structured completion statement that helps the participant explain the idea, evidence, financial learning, obligations and remaining needs.
Business Model & Simulated Sale
A practical final presentation, ask-for-sale activity and controlled fake-money exchange with clear instructions.
Observation & Readiness Rubric
Behaviourally anchored indicators that help facilitators judge progress consistently without overclaiming business viability.
Progress & Completion Tracker
Participant and cohort views aligned with the 80% threshold, outstanding evidence, support needs and completion decisions.
Editable Electronic Handover
Professionally organised Word, PowerPoint and Excel source files, plus an LMS-ready content map, naming convention and upload structure.
Three connected layers
The right information for each role.
The package avoids forcing every user to navigate the same dense master document.
Participant layer
- Simple instructions and worked examples
- Progressive workbook and action plan
- Visible completion and support needs
- Readiness evidence passport
Facilitator layer
- Timed plan and facilitation script
- Prompts, adaptations and misconceptions
- Evidence anchors and observation rubric
- Calibration and handoff guidance
Programme layer
- Cohort overview and completion tracker
- Quality and version-control register
- Outcome and indicator reporting
- Structured referral to next support
LMS-ready, not LMS-dependent
Reusable source files first; digital delivery when appropriate.
The programme remains deliverable in person, online or hybrid while the content architecture supports later LMS implementation.
Structured content map
Week, objective, activity, output, evidence, completion rule, resource and accessibility adaptation are mapped explicitly.
Consistent file architecture
Clear naming, versioning, metadata and asset relationships make future upload and maintenance safer.
Print and low-bandwidth paths
Core learning does not depend on a high-spec device, persistent video or complex interactive technology.
Source and formula control
Financial tools are formula-tested. Alberta and federal business content is linked to an update register recording the source, date checked, owner and review trigger.
