H.G. Tittmar, O.D.W. Hargie, D.A. Dickson

• A brief account is presented of the evolution of Social Skills Training at the Ulster College. It attained its origin from the Stanford model of microteaching, and its analogue of microcounselling.

  The account considers two ways in which a Social Skills Training system may be utilised ‐ namely the Tandem method and the Echelon method. Highlighted are some of the disadvantages arising with microtraining. At the Ulster College many of the disadvantages incurred by micro‐training have been overcome with the introduction of minitraining.
