Certified Experiential Learning Designer
Do you design learning programmes and want them to stick? In this in-company programme, you learn to design learning experiences using experiential learning, in English. You work in-company, tailored to your organisation. After successful completion, you achieve the Certified Experiential Learning Designer certification.
Do you recognise this?
You have worked on a programme for weeks. The brief is right, the content is strong, the slides are neat. On the day itself, the participants listen politely, and two weeks later you notice that almost no one does anything with it.
That bothers you. You know it can be better, but you lack a fixed way to build a design. So you keep searching again and again for methods that make a difference.
You design training courses or learning programmes:
- participants follow the programme, but apply very little;
- you want activities that really make people participate and think;
- you are looking for a solid methodology instead of loose methods.
A good design lets people experience, not just listen.
Why does a good programme get stuck so often?
Anyone who designs without a fixed methodology relies on feeling and experience. That works sometimes, but not every time, and you cannot explain why one programme catches on and another does not. That costs time, because you start from scratch with every new design.
It also costs confidence, in your own approach and among the people you design for. You put energy into a programme and see too little in return of what participants do with it. It is tiring to keep trying that on intuition.
It does not have to stay this way. A good design is no coincidence, it follows a way of thinking that you can learn.
How do you design learning experiences that stick?
Designing with experiential learning is a skill you build step by step. You learn how people absorb knowledge through what they do and experience themselves, and how you build a programme around that.
Our coaches know the feeling of a programme that does not land. They design and deliver training courses with experiential learning themselves, and they work with the methodology of experience-oriented learning that you experience yourself in this programme.
You go from theory to practice and design your own learning experiences, tailored to your organisation. This gives you a firm grip for every new design, and you work towards the certification.
What you can do after the programme
After the programme you can:
- explain and apply the principles and methodologies of experiential learning;
- understand how learners absorb and internalise knowledge through practical experiences;
- design activities that promote active participation, critical thinking and application;
- build learning programmes that leave a lasting impression;
- show your expertise with the Certified Experiential Learning Designer certification.
