| The PLFs wave goodbye to the audience after the closing. |
Program director, Mohd Nadzrin Wahab, who was also one of the speakers, explained the concept of the event as a learning buffet, provided free to the public, who would otherwise have to pay a steep price to gain knowledge. The speakers were the Professional Learning Facilitators, a group of certified trainers who bring a unique twist to their training programs.
"The Professional Learning Facilitators, or PLFs for short, are members of a fraternity who have completed a intensive 3-day training program to become 'trainers', except, we focus on the learning, not the training," he said.
He admits, it is an alien concept for most to grasp, but he sums it up as caring more for engaging the learner and using any means necessary to ensure the message gets across, as compared to a rigid structure of teaching that a trainer must follow.
Each PLF instead follows and uses the Take Charge Learning Facilitation System which was founded by Mohd Rizal Hassan of Take Charge Sdn Bhd. To enable these PLFs to gain exposure and test their mettle in front of a real audience, the PLF Showcase was born.
Jointly developed between several PLFs, the concept of the event was to put on stage in front of a public audience, newly graduated PLFs. After their presentation, Rizal and the audience, would provide coaching and feedback on their performance and share points for improvement.
The event was deemed a success after several audience members inquired if there was going to be a repeat edition. Rizal replied that the showcase will continue as a quarterly event throughout the year. The next showcase is expected to be held in April 2012.
