What is critical thinking training?
Critical thinking training is designed to empower people to achieve their goals, by teaching thinking skills which will help them in two ways.
First, to become more conscious of the common errors of thought that most people fall into, and which lead them to act on false ideas. Acting on false ideas will guarantee failure because success requires that thinking must correspond to reality. Critical thinking’s first task is therefore to identify sources of error and eliminate them.
The second reason to learn critical thinking is more constructive: it is to empower people to build detailed, logical, comprehensive and coherent plans, that will guide intelligent, purposeful action in the pursuance of a predetermined goal.
Only logically sound plans will achieve a goal. And logic is not an innate skill, it needs to be learned, understood, and applied. On this course you will learn, understand and be able to apply critical thinking and logic to avoid error, construct sound plans, and therefore achieve your goals.

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Course Overview
As you would expect, this course is itself very systematic and logical in its construction.
We start with definitions: What is critical thinking? What is logic? Why can we NOT succeed if we use irrational, emotionally driven thinking methods, in an attempt to solve real world problems?
We identify the most common errors of thinking that are committed by most people, most of the time, and we ask delegates to examine their own thinking and to assess how many common errors they are prone to. The purpose of this section is to bring to conscious awareness how common and embedded these errors of thinking are: Errors such as using “the majority opinion”, or “gut feel guesses” as a guide to action.
Then we get into the positive, constructive portion of the course where we teach correct thinking methods, which themselves break into three types: Inductive logic, deductive logic, creative logic.
Inductive logic is seeing “patterns” buried in the facts and drawing from these patterns’ valid conclusions or a general principle.
Deductive logic is the complementary style of thinking: It is the application of a general principles to a new set of facts: or it is the act of explaining a set of facts by reference to an already known principle
Creative logic is the use of the imagination to find new ways to combine old facts, to seek out new lines and new rationalisations, to boldly go where no mind has gone before!
The course concludes with an examination of how we combine these four factors, (error detection, inductive, deductive and creative logic), to form a system of thinking speaking writing and action that will maximise our chances of success.
Learning Outcomes:
- Correctly apply previous knowledge to new situations
