Certified Virtual Facilitator

Take your virtual workshops, meetings, and presentations to the next level with Knowmium’s Certified Virtual Facilitator program.

Our certification program lets you:

  • Learn time-tested virtual methods: for over 5 years, Knowmium has run worldwide interactive online programs with a wide variety of class sizes, durations, topics, and troubleshooting. We take the most useful and pack them into this certification program.

  • Experience a variety of virtual tools: you will be on the learner side and facilitator side of a variety of virtual tools and apps, giving you a 360 view so you can choose the right resources for your future virtual programs.

  • Practice your methods and get feedback: our certification process gives you chances to facilitate using the tools and your personal style so you get practice, feedback, and confidence. We keep our groups small so you have plenty of time to interact, discuss, and get the answers you need to tailor your own virtual programs.

Delivery Methodology:

  • Pre-Workshop: Build before we begin. Pre-session and between-session work includes brief readings, surveys/assessments, and personal practice.

  • In Session: Hands on learning. Our sessions are highly interactive, customized to your level of experience, and practical. What you won’t see: long lectures, overloaded slide decks, and quick jumps from one unlinked activity to another. 

  • Personalized Certification. Your final certification involves your actual facilitation to live participants. It can be achieved through options that suit you best: with our session cohorts, with external participants, or through video samples of your actual facilitation.

  • Follow-Up Resources. Our catalogue of links and resources is always at your disposal and our facilitators are available for planning, feedback, and suggestions as you move forward.

Testimonials

The Certified Virtual Facilitator program with Knowmium was an excellent learning experience. The content was highly focused, quickly absorbable, and rich with best-practice insights gained through experience. The program facilitator, Robert, led stimulating interactive live-sessions and fostered a collaborative learning space in which participants were able to share their experiences and exchange ideas about technology tips and tools they use. The certification project was flexibility designed to support participants needs and asynchronous completion. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to push their virtual training, teaching, or facilitation game to the next dimension.
-Jordan Vinikoor, Educational Technology Consultant, University of Connecticut, USA

I've been running webinars and virtual workshops over the past year. One reason I took this course was to find more ways to get my audience more engaged. I loved seeing and using new apps and tools to get people's opinions in new ways. I've started using them in smaller meetings and workshops, too, simply because it's more fun for everyone than just coming off mute and speaking. The other thing I liked about this course was taking my own activity plans and finding new ways to add onto them. I'm able to fit in more content and more feedback to what I had already built, and my participants have noticed the new tools. Enroll in this certification if you want to take your virtual facilitation skills up a notch!
