Behaviour change bootcamps

Our Behaviour Change Bootcamps offer intensive, group-based training to influential groups within organisations, helping them become skilled advocates in applying the behavioural sciences to program design and implementation.

Each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation’s needs in terms of content, methods of delivery (in-person and/or online) and typically involve up to 20 participants. It’s the ideal course for groups looking to understand how they can apply a behavioural approach to address their needs.

How to get started:

  • Get in touch with us to discuss your organisation’s/group’s needs so we can tailor our Bootcamp for you.
  • Prior to each Bootcamp, participants are asked to provide information about a ‘live’ problem confronting their organisation that could benefit from a behavioural focus.
  •  We’ll then review the information and agree on a set of 4-6 problem statements that participants will work on throughout the Bootcamp.

The Bootcamp runs for a period of 8 - 12 weeks, and provides:

  • A detailed understanding of human behaviour;
  • An introduction to the BehaviourWorks Method;
  • Weekly tasks, webinars and workshops; and,
  • An opportunity for teams to develop a live roadmap or workplan of completed and future activities to support the implementation of behaviour change projects relevant to their work areas.

Tailor made and practical

Each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation’s needs in terms of content, methods of delivery (in-person and/or online) and typically involve up to 20 participants.

Prior to each Bootcamp, participants are asked to provide information about a ‘live’ problem confronting their organisation that could benefit from a behavioural focus.

The organisers (from the participating organisation and BWA) then review the information and agree on a set of four to six problem statements that participants will work on, in teams, throughout the Bootcamp.

Through a combination of weekly tasks, webinars and workshops, the teams then develop a live roadmap or workplan of completed and future activities to support the implementation of behaviour change projects relevant to their work areas.

Throughout the Bootcamps, teams are supported by BWA’s friendly and accessible training team.

Supporting the application of behaviour change approaches

Bootcamps provide a practical grounding in behavioural science thinking and associated capabilities.

They offer a structured and evidence-based approach for undertaking behaviour change projects and aim to upskill a core group of influential staff within organisations to become 'behaviour change champions' who can support and encourage others to look at problems through a behavioural lens. 

While each Bootcamp is tailored to the organisation's needs in terms of content, methods of delivery and timelines, they typically run between eight and 12 weeks and involve up to 20 participants. 

Bootcamps are case-study rich, involving workshops, webinars, guest speakers and small group activities, with participants being guided throughout by BWA's renowned training team.

Frequently asked questions

What is the format and structure of the course?

BehaviourWorks Australia’s Toolbox Series short courses comprise up to 15 hours of learning within an intensive seven-day period (Friday to Friday). See course information webpage for dates and times.

Your course will begin and end with an instructor-led workshop. In between the workshops, you will make your way through the self-paced activities in the online learning management system, Moodle.

Tasks to complete in Moodle include an eBook of reading material, an online quiz to assess your understanding, a demonstration activity to enable you to watch the skill in action and a practical peer-review activity, which will give you the opportunity to consolidate your newly-acquired skill by giving and receiving feedback with your peers.

What are the eligibility requirements for participating in this course?

There are no specific entry requirements for participating in BehaviourWorks Australia’s short courses.However, in order to gain the most out of the content and activities, we ask that you are able to read and communicate in English effectively.

The courses contain academic and non-academic learning materials and you are expected to commit time to participate with the expected workload (approximately 15 hours per course). You are responsible for your learning, such as completing required tasks, engaging with peers and conforming to online codes of conduct. Finally, we ask you to bring your own experiences to the course to enhance your learning and to enable the transfer of knowledge back to your work.

Are there any face-to-face lectures or is physical attendance required?

No. The course is delivered fully online, which means that all of the course content is delivered digitally, through the University’s online learning platform. Moodle. The fully online nature of the course makes it extremely flexible. As long as you have reliable access to the internet, you can complete the course from anywhere!

What is meant by ‘self-paced’?

Parts of this course are ‘self-paced’, in that you will decide when and from where you will access the learning material and how fast or slow you wish to progress through it. That is, the majority of the materials, including the eBook, quiz and learning activities can be completed flexibly within the week the course runs.The two workshops within the course are not self-paced but instructor-led, meaning that you will be asked to attend at a given time and participate in scheduled activities.

What is covered in the workshops?

The workshops are intended to bring learners together to achieve certain objectives in a cohesive and standardised way.

  • Workshop 1 will involve getting to know your facilitator, the course, its learning activities, the nature of the content you will cover in the upcoming week, navigate the online learning platform, and provide an opportunity to connect with other learners.
  • Workshop 2 will enable you to address any questions or challenges you have experienced with the course material, to collaborate with others in applying the skills you have learned to a new task and provide you with further behavioural insights to help you in your behaviour change pursuits!
What if I cannot attend a workshop?

The workshops in your course are a key part of the learning experience. However, you can still achieve the learning objectives of the course by completing the online materials and participating in the online activities only, without attending the workshops. The workshops are recorded so that you can catch up later, if you cannot attend due to other commitments. Please note that recordings may be edited for clarity.
