Certified Experiential Learning Trainer
Do you give training sessions, but too little sticks with your participants? In this in-company train-the-trainer programme, you learn to design and facilitate engaging training sessions using experiential learning. You work in-company, tailored to your organisation. Upon successful completion, you achieve the Certified Experiential Learning Trainer certification.
Do you recognise this?
It is the end of your session. You have gone through the slides, answered the questions and everyone nods politely. But at the coffee machine you notice that little has stuck and that no one really participated.
You know it can be better, you are just looking for how. That bothers you: you put a lot of time into your preparation and you want your participants to do something with it tomorrow.
You give training, internally or as a professional:
- your sessions are well prepared, but participants remain passive;
- you are looking for methods that really put people to work;
- you want to show your approach with a certification, not just with experience.
A training session only counts if people do something with it. That is what this programme works on.
Why does giving training remain such a struggle?
Giving a good training session is a profession in its own right. Having knowledge is not enough: you also have to get people to the point where they get to work themselves.
Without the right methods, you often keep broadcasting. Your preparation grows, your energy shrinks and you doubt whether your approach leads anywhere. Your own growth also comes to a standstill, because you do not yet have anything tangible to show how you work.
It does not have to stay that way. How you let people learn, can be learned.
How do you become a trainer who really puts people to work?
Designing and facilitating training is a skill, not an innate talent. With a clear approach and a lot of practice, you can build it up.
Our coaches know the moment when a session does not land, from their own practice and from the groups they facilitate. They work with experiential learning: participants learn by doing, and you experience that approach yourself in the programme.
You start with an intake, practise with experiential learning and keep practising afterwards. This way you grow towards sessions that engage, and towards a certification that makes your approach visible.
What you can do after the programme
After the programme you can:
- build training sessions that engage and set something in motion;
