Results in Practice: Think on Your Feet®

Here's what accreditation looks like in practice, one example from our Think on Your Feet® facilitator network.

4 simple steps to trainer accreditation

Our trainer accreditations are fully licensed and delivered in conjunction with the IP holder. We've developed a simple 4-step process to ensure you get the most value out of the accreditation opportunity.

STEP 1: APPLY

Call us on +44 (0)20 3836 8640 to arrange a meeting with a certification consultant, who will run through the process in detail, the criteria for success and your implementation plans. They will also ensure that our Trainer Accreditation options are right for you and complete your initial application form with you.

When you apply, we will:

Check if you've already attended the workshop as a delegate. This allows you to see the workshop as any other delegate would - you hear the common questions, objections and delegate feedback firsthand. Most importantly, though, you get to see a Master Trainer in action, delivering the workshop to the highest level.
Check that you are happy to deliver the content.
Review your experience as a trainer.
Review your plans for implementing the workshop in your business.

Your dedicated certification consultant will then liaise with the IP holder to get your application approved and be in touch with you to confirm your accreditation workshop dates.

STEP 2: LEARN

Attending the workshop as a delegate enables you to experience the workshop from a delegate's perspective and understand the expectations of fellow delegates. Your next step is to learn how to deliver the workshop as a trainer.

Part 1: Attend the accreditation workshop

This intensive workshop will:

Provide a comprehensive Trainer Manual.
Explore the theory underlying the content in more detail.
Allow you to practice the techniques you will deliver in a safe environment and refine practical examples that bring your delivery to life.
Ensure you understand and can facilitate all aspects of the workshops to deliver with clarity, brevity and impact.
Support you through any challenges you may have. Providing tips on handling delegates' questions, giving feedback and adapting the workshop to meet your delegates' objectives.
Provide a detailed feedback report in partnership with your Master Trainer.
End with a thorough assessment from your Indigo Master Trainer and a one-to-one feedback session, for approval to schedule your team teach workshop at your organisation.

Part 2: Team teach your first event

As a part of your accreditation, you will be required to team teach your first workshop with your Master Trainer, who will provide individual guidance, feedback and coaching. Upon a successful team teach, you will be signed off and officially accredited to deliver the programme.

If you are successful, you'll:

Need to sign a trainer agreement.
Receive a Certificate of Accreditation.
Be provided with access to our online Accredited Trainer Portal.

If you are not successful, your Indigo Master Trainer will provide you with detailed feedback to help you create an action plan that will bring you up to standard. Your certification consultant will also be in touch to talk about other learning options available to you (may incur additional fees).

STEP 3: TEACH

Upon your successful trainer accreditation, team teach and Master Trainer approval, we will work with you to maximise your training opportunities and abilities. It's our role to support you, keep you up to date and ensure the highest quality delivery in all our workshops. You'll get:

Regular updates.
Access to our online Accredited Trainer Portal.
Options for further support include Master Trainer consultations.

Accredited Trainer Portal - Indigo's Accredited Portal is where Trainer Portal is where you'll find all the resources you'll need to deliver your workshops. You'll be able to:

Order licences, workbook language variations and support materials 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Download marketing and support materials to help you support your delegates before, during, and after your workshop.
View and download your agreements, certificates and accreditation documentation.

STEP 4: REFRESH

Re-accredit every two years to stay current with the latest materials and maintain the quality your delegates rely on.

Upon successful re-accreditation, you will be issued with an updated accreditation certificate and retain all the Accredited Trainer benefits.
