When delivering courses Accounts Direct always
seeks to engage the SIX “E” approach:

Environment – select an appropriate venue to hold the presentation ensuring it is conducive to learning.

Energy – the presentation should always be presented with energy that the audience can feed off creating a positive learning experience.

Entertainment - in order to hold the attention of an audience the presenter needs to be entertaining.

Educate – the key aim is to impart knowledge that can be applied in the commercial environment by participants.

Encourage – It is important to encourage the attendees to utilise the knowledge they have gained.

Efficiency is the key – courses are designed to “punch above their weight” by condensing courses to ensure that participants gain maximum return on their time.
