Effective capacity development requires more than transferring information. Trainers need to understand how adults learn, diagnose learning needs, design relevant learning experiences, facilitate participation and assess whether learning has produced meaningful change. This tutor-based online certification programme provides a step-by-step guide to the adult-learning environment and the full learning-management cycle, helping development practitioners move from technical expertise to effective facilitation and training practice.
The programme is designed for project managers, technical specialists and other development professionals who contribute to capacity development within public institutions, international organizations, civil-society organizations, communities or professional networks and who need to design, facilitate or improve training activities.
This course is designed to provide comprehensive support for your learning journey. It includes eight self-paced modules, as well as knowledge tests, weekly individual assignments, case studies and a debate forum to foster group discussion. The estimated required effort is of 7.5 hours per week.
Furthermore, a tutor will provide you with individual feedback on your work, and a synchronous learning space will be created during the weekly online events, which last approximately 60 minutes. We believe that this combination of self-paced modules, interactive activities, and individual support/coaching will help you to gain practical competencies to become a certified trainer.
This course is delivered through distance learning and deployed on the ITCILO e-Campus. It frees you from the classroom and gives you the flexibility to complete the learning modules at your own pace, within the module and course timeframe, and to work on weekly assignments within your schedule.
