To become a CEFE trainer, candidates must successfully participate in two activities: A Training of Trainers and Coaching.
A Training of Trainers (ToT) qualifies participants to conduct trainings with the target group using CEFE methods. Coaching sessions subsequent to the ToT are necessary to complete the qualification and to receive the CEFE trainer license. Trainings can be based on CEFE Start-Up Training, but it is also possible to adapt the ToT standard to any other specific module available in our product portfolio
1. Training of Trainers Seminar:
Content: Experiential learning, adult learning, different training methods, the key CEFE exercises. Special learning objectives can be integrated upon request of the client organisation.
Approach: As soon as possible, participants of the ToT act as facilitators, prepare exercises and facilitate them as trainers. Within teams of 2-3 people, each participant will practically apply 2 learning units.
Trainer: The ToT can only be carried out by a Master Trainer, i.e. a very experienced CEFE trainer, if possible with International Certificate or approved by CEFE International as Master Trainer.
Duration: Minimum of 12 days (84 hours), better 3 weeks (105 hours).
Licence: After completion of a ToT the participant can obtain a confirmation of attendance. A CEFE trainer licence will be issued when the participant has successfully completed a coaching in a training seminar of 5 days (35 hours).
2. Coached Training:
Duration: In teams of not more than 3 persons, working together, each candidate runs a CEFE course for at least 5 days.
Pre-condition: Successful participation in a ToT
Content: Application of exercises in a training course for “real” participants, i.e. business people, business starters or other, special target groups.
Approach: Within a team, the candidates prepare a program, exercises and all training materials. They conduct the complete CEFE training. A coach supports them in preparation. The coach carefully observes the performance of the candidates and gives detailed feed-back after the sessions. The coach will finally decide if the trainee gets a CEFE licence, has to undergo another coached training course or will be excluded as CEFE trainer.
*Adapted standards are valid for the regional CEFE network in Latinamerica. Please contact CEFE International for further information.
