Course Info

Training and facilitating in the virtual classroom requires planning and preparation if facilitators are to motivate and engage learners. A successful learner-focused event goes beyond an informational webinar and requires a facilitator to understand the learners’ needs and create a welcoming and inclusive virtual space.

Learn how to select learning methods and facilitate activities in a virtual environment that will keep learners engaged throughout the event and prepare them to apply what they have learned on the job. Explore techniques for building rapport and connecting with learners in the virtual environment.

Aligned to the training delivery and facilitation capability of the Talent Development Capability Model, this certificate program will provide you with ATD-exclusive tools and templates as well as the opportunity to demonstrate your own new skills and receive feedback from your expert facilitator and peers. Practice skills in an authentic simulation where you will receive feedback and guidance from peers and an experienced ATD facilitator.

WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING

Testimonials

"This program was very valuable! Learning about the various methods of facilitation inclusive of the psychology behind how learners learn and grasp information was of the utmost importance to me. As someone who is going to be facilitating classes soon, this program went above and beyond my expectations. I love how ATD included various methods of learning such as videos, transcripts, reference manuals, skills practice (which helped me to come out of my comfort zone in terms of facilitating), student workbook (which really helped me to think critically), and much more!"

"I gained a new perspective to training/facilitating [virtual] trainings. I have new resources and information to support my career as I continue to move forward in facilitation. The facilitator was GREAT! Her energy and openness were helpful. She made the class engaging and as we were learning from her, she was learning from us."

Read More

"I chose this course because I wanted to deepen my knowledge on conducting virtual trainings to make them more effective for my learners. My expectations were exceeded. I gained so many tools that I can now implement into my training. I highly recommend this course to anyone who may be thinking about enrolling."
