My organisation does not have a Self Awareness Talking to Crocodiles account, how do I find out if it will be suitable for what we want to achieve?

Have a look at some of the Frequently Asked Questions below as well as other pages on the site.

Naturally, each organisation has its own specific needs. We're keen to make sure each programme aligns itself with these.

Phone or email us and we’ll be happy to hear what you’re trying to do and discuss which of the online Self Awareness Reports and Workshops might help you with this.

We’re also working with many different types of organisations – including schools, colleges, academies and businesses – with young adults and professionals from 14 years onwards. Many welcome visitors to learn more about how it’s used and what they get out of it… even to the extent of allowing guests to sit in on their workshops!

Whatever your starting point, pick up the phone or drop us a line – visit our Contact Us page for details.

Where would your programme fit?

Our programme is in a generic format that encompasses students' ‘Life skills’,  PSHE, career planning, University applications and General Studies.

It is relevant for the 14-19 year age range.

The programme has evolved from the requests of participating students and teachers over the years. We will adapt the programme to suit the individual needs of your school or college.

To set up a meeting with one of our consultants, please contact us on 0845 0943955 or info@selfawareness.org.uk.

Do boys and girls benefit?

YES. Our programme is absolutely gender neutral as it measures natural learning patterns and innate behavioural preferences. It is also age, race, ethnicity and religiosity neutral.

How much does your programme cost?

Do you improve self esteem?

Yes. Our information helps students increase their sense of self awareness and confidence. Clearly, this is an individual journey. Whilst some may appear ‘self aware’ or more comfortable with their identity, others may prefer to internalise the experience.

We believe that our programme is a positive process for each student. It offers them a supportive, non-judgemental language to describe themselves, their strengths and qualities. They can then start to use this language to focus on their key motivators, their approach to learning and what they have to offer the world.

What about inspections?

Our programme creates an auditable process for ISI and Ofsted inspections. Each stage of the programme, you can show a clear input and output, with measurable factors for both students and teachers.

Our programme is a practical process that can be verified by inspectors.

Inspectors can question students and teachers of the benefits gained from commitment to the programme and also by documentary evidence through the student and teacher reports.

A positive outcome is enabled through the ILPs that were informed by the reports.

How long have you been established?

We have been working with schools and colleges in the UK for over 6 years. 

The 'talking to crocodiles' programme was designed for use in 14-19 education, in order to fill a need in the educational sector. We were approached to provide support with the personalised learning agenda by local head teachers in Derby, whilst operating as a coaching consultancy with technical behavioural and learning style expertise. We have over 25 years of behavioural assessment experience that informs our programme. We bring this considerable experience and knowledge and make it relevant to education.

The diagnostic is based upon a behavioural theory that was established and has been developed over more than 50 years. Our particular online diagnostic is validated, and subject to ongoing analysis, by the Psychometric Department of the University of Cambridge.

Can you save me time?

Yes. Our programme is created for students, tutors and teachers. We allow each student to develop to their maximum potential. The difficult questions we answer are:

What is this student’s potential?

How do I recognise their major working strengths and motivations?

How do I communicate this knowledge with empathy and enthusiasm? 

We deliver information which addresses the above questions. We do this by inviting teachers and tutors to explore the unique requirements and approach to learning of each student. This means that they focus quickly on the learning and working strengths of each individual.

We provide information to form the basis of an individual action plan, with clearer communication and an emphasis on improved performance. Thus significantly reducing the usual time it takes to 'know them well'.

What are the aims of the programme?

The objectives of the programme are:

- To help schools and colleges deliver a meaningful personalised learning agenda in 14-19 education.

- To offer students the self confidence and self esteem that comes from becoming self aware as an individual.

- To break down the barriers that exist to communication and understanding between students and teachers.

- To enable teachers to understand and work with the unique behavioural and learning preferences of each individual student.

- To enable teachers and tutors to create a unique student action plan based on each student’s working strengths and approach to learning, which will help maximise their potential and employability.
