Trainer Skills for Experts
Learn to design and deliver rock-solid trainings
in 4 months
From sharing a lot of PowerPoints to training
You are subject matter expert and already deliver, or soon will be going to deliver training to others about your subject.
But how do you turn the content you want to deliver into a good training set up and how are you making sure participants actually learn?
Dat is andere koek.
Dat betekent ook: het vak van trainen leren.
We're going to help you
Het is niet altijd makkelijk om deelnemers te motiveren en te zorgen dat ze nieuwe stof echt gaan toepassen. Maar als je het goed aanpakt, kan het wel degelijk.
That's why in the training we teach you to work with Karin de Galan's method. You take your participants along effortlessly and you actually get results. You will know what you are doing and why one exercise works and the other doesn't.
And that means:
NO more passive participants, 'Death by PowerPoint' or the nagging feeling that your training is not sticking.
Reviews
'Much more energy'
I was broadcasting a lot of dry material. My participants were in no time, falling asleep. I wanted to convey everything well, but I had difficulty finding the appropriate format. Very nice how you [the trainers] provided me of feedback during the program and were able to think with me, without any knowledge of my expertise. I now divide my training into different parts. I start with a case study, I tell something briefly about the theory and then the participants practice with different type of assigments. I get very positive reactions to this. They are fascinated from beginning to end and always report that it was never boring. With all these positive responses, providing the trainings, gives me way more energy then before.

'I dare to sit back more'
I shared too much theory and I presented too much standard material. I learned how to greatly improve my approach. My intakes are better. This allows me to start with 'the pain' of my participants. Thus, from the start, participants are fully engaged and know that they are in the right place with me. I've made my theory parts smaller, I created effective and fun exercises and I dare to lean back and relax more. The part of "doing less myself" is quite a challenge for me ☺. I really liked both trainers Daan and Marleen. There was always an open atmosphere and lots of laughter. Even during the online sessions. Very well organized.

2. A personal intake
We always start with a personal intake. In it, we look together at what you want to learn and whether the Trainer Skills for Experts course fits your needs. So if we say yes from both sides, you can be sure you're at the right place.
3. Practical training days and master classes
During all the training days, you will always work with your personal training material. All the skills you learn can be used in a classroom training as well as online. That's why we offer: 4 full days of on-site training, 3 half-days of online training and 2 online master classes. In the master class, you deliver part of your own training in a smaller group. In this way you integrate your learnings.
4. Four months of individual feedback
After each training day, you can immediately apply all learnings. In the home assignments you work on designing (part of) your own training or you practice a trainer skill. You will receive extensive feedback from one of the trainers.
5. A personal learning environment
You receive a full year of access to our digital learning environment with examples and additional explanations of the theory. This allows you to keep the material top-of-mind and stay inspired to master the training skills even better.
6. Two experienced trainers
You will be trained by Marleen de Bruijn and Daan Rookmaaker. We both train with the method of Karin de Galan and have our own personal style. This makes it easier to develop your personal style.
