Sprechblase.gifISM ACADEMY-TRAINER EDUCATION
Certified by International School of Management

 

Education to acquire skills in content and methods leading to a comprehensive and marketable competence of a trainer and adviser.

Nowadays a qualified Business Coach Training belongs to the standard if you intend to work as a self-employed trainer or as a trainer who is in charge of further education of employees and executives in your company.

The requirements are high. On the one hand a trainer is more and more expected to offer seminar implementation „beyond one’s own nose“. Many companies demand customised seminar concepts meeting their employees’ special concerns instead of „ready-made“ further education. A good trainer detects sources of problems in the company and offers corresponding training concepts.

On the other hand it is for sure attractive for a trainer, not only to carry out seminars, but to be actively involved in the development of change processes in organisations.

During the college-certified ISM ACADEMY trainer education the participants will acquire skills to analyse companies, to identify sources of crises, to analyse causes, to work out possible solutions and to ignite development processes. This way you will not only be trained to be a trainer. In addition to this you will learn to understand and to create your customers’ entrepreneurial processes.

After having concluded this education, the participants will be able to present themselves professionally in commerce, they will be able to handle groups in a competent and skilful way and will present and position themselves appropriately. Furthermore they will be able to develop their seminar dramaturgy, to handle borderline cases in seminars, will avoid or manage disturbances and care for the atmosphere of the seminar.

It is imperative to get to know a multitude of tools which constitute the job of a trainer. They are the trainer’s tools and are the basis for successful seminar work and accepted counselling service.

In addition to this, it is also important to convey marketing strategies in the scope of a professional trainer education. How do I get the ball rolling as a trainer? How can I convince decision makers in the companies of the fact that I am the right problem solver?

Who attentively observes the trainer market, will find out that there are plenty of trainers, however, there are only a few who are financially successful. This is due to the fact that method and content competence also needs competence in market positioning and marketing of one’s own services.

We do not only train people to become good trainers, we would like to make them entrepreneurially successful as well. The acquired methodical and professional competence will only contribute to financial benefit if enough orders are secured.

The ISM ACADEMY trainer education consists of a 6-months theoretical phase and is complemented by three partly parallel practical phases. The total period of the training takes about 9 months.

During the theoretical phase in-class modules take place in blocks of one and a half up to six days, normally twice a month. During the complete training professional support and monitoring is always ensured.

During the complete period of education the participants work out marked home works, multiple-choice-tests and exercises regarding certain training matters. The performances achieved will be integrated into the overall score of the final examination. Moreover the alumnus will take part in a seminar during the practical phases, he/ she will take over the co-moderation in a seminar, the student will work out corresponding seminar concepts as well as suitable seminar documents together with the trainer in charge, he/ she will complete a placement in the seminar office, will participate in an acquisition talk and will finally moderate a seminar.

At the end of the training an examination will be taken, which comprises issuing a final thesis of approximately 20 pages, a presentation of essential elements of this final thesis in front of the board of examiners as well as holding a seminar of 2-3 days about the subject chosen by the student. The examination will be taken by the board of examiners of the International School of Management (ISM).

Beginning of the training: July 2009
Costs: € 11.840,–
plus VAT, plus examination fees € 500,– plus VAT (Instalments can be agreed).
