Qualification* Series for Facilitators and Training Designers


Click Here To See Program Dates

This program is the answer to your organization's need for effective internal employee development, enabling your own leaders and facilitators to design and deliver powerful training and development programs every step of the way. It is inspired directly from our years of insights and experiences facilitating workshops, designing programs and helping teams to be the best they can be.

The eight-day Qualification Series begins on March 19th, 2010, and includes 64 total hours of application and practice. Presented by Priority Learning's expert consultants and facilitators, the Series provides a state-of-the-art foundation for both recognized and new practitioners of facilitation and training.

The Art

The finest material and ideas can be lost through ineffective training and facilitation. There really is an "art" to facilitating effective learning transfer from the classroom to implementing key practices on the job. The success of our participants depends upon this art, and involves much more than receiving good material or a strong knowledge base. Valuable facilitation and training requires a grasp of human dynamics, audience participation, time management, good design, quality delivery and follow-through.

It is essential to know how hard to push and when to bend to a point, when to lead and when to follow, plus crafting learning points to audiences' needs.

A New Approach

We take a different approach to preparing facilitators and trainers. Your organizational leaders are prepared through learning incrementally with other professionals, while practicing, trying out new ideas and gaining confidence.

What we will ask of Series Participants:

  • understand the way people learn
  • get organized
  • build a great package of materials
  • manage biases, assumptions and judgments, political points of view and all the other triggers that detract an audience
  • stay on time
  • practice, practice, practice

The Qualification Series provides the practicum for each attendee to build his or her own model to utilize back on the job. Each of the eight days will provide participants with the knowledge and practice to become strong and effective designers and facilitators with appropriately paced material. Not something that can be accomplished in a two-day or even four-day workshop, this is the chance for those who are serious about learning the latest best practices to join us at our favorite craft.

*This program may be qualified as a certification within your employee educational benefits as a way to help them grow professionally and personally.

Our attendees consistently let us know that one of the most valuable characteristics of our workshops is the chance to interact with people in similar positions from different industries. Here's another opportunity to join a diverse group from local companies to learn and apply the very best practices in facilitation and training.
