Our Certification Workshop For Intercultural Trainers
Blended Learning, Microlearning, And Face To Face Training – It’s All In The Mix!!
Do today’s intercultural training live up to the standards and expectations of clients and learners?
This is the question we asked ourselves a couple of years ago. Our answer was a clear “No!”. We also asked ourselves, if the contents offered in intercultural trainings include new findings from intercultural research. Our answer was a clear “No!” – again.
We took our analysis of the situation and decided to take intercultural training to a whole new level: Our training programs are digital and they adhere to the highest scientific standards! We have developed a blended learning program that allows for a state-of-the-art learner experience, learner centricity, an evidence-based approach, process orientation, etc. Now we are ready to share our knowledge and add value to your training practice! To empower as many intercultural trainers as possible to incorporate blended learning and microlearning into their practice we offer a comprehensive train the trainer program and certification workshop series.
The certification program takes 3.5 days to complete. It comprises of 0.5 days of self-paced online preparation and three days of face to face workshops. All participants will have access to the online learning environment one month before the face to face workshops start. The self-paced module comprises of the basics of ICABS©, the microlearning modules, as well as the curriculum and concept of the training program.
Two weeks ahead of the workshops there is a webinar where you have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concerns and ideas. This is also a great opportunity to get to know each other.
Becoming familiar with the parts of the program and how to handle them is the integral part of the certification program. You will have exclusive access to ICABS© and the ICT Backpacker Program for Germany. Furthermore, you will receive a personal report of your ICABS© results. This way we make sure that everyone has experienced the program from a learner’s perspective as well as the possibility to work through the program from a trainer’s point of view.
After completing the certification program, you will
- Have understood how to use ICABS©
- Have understood the significance of ICABS© results
- Have learned how to facilitate a debriefing session on ICABS© results
- Have practiced creating a personal action plan based on ICABS© results
- Have learned how to navigate and use the online learning environment (using the ICT Backpacker Germany program as an example)
- Be familiar with the structure and content of the online modules of the program
- Have understood the handling and benefits of the microlearning modules
- Have learned how to develop face to face sessions that are tailored to the needs and wants of the participant and the outcomes of ICABS©
- Have gained deep insight into the facilitation of coaching sessions
Our blended learning program is unique on the German market and offers a great USP for intercultural trainers and coaches. The program is based on central scientific research in the intercultural field, as well as on research in the cognitive sciences, pedagogy and learning theories. We constantly evaluate the quality of our program to maintain the highest quality.
Digitalization of intercultural training and coaching is no longer a trend, but a necessity. With our offer, intercultural trainers have the opportunity to complete a certification for an integrated blended learning program for the first time. Until now, trainers could complete a certification for specific assessment tools, or for a regular trainer certification for intercultural face to face trainings.
The integrated program with the approach by Bilingual Solutions: comprises of the assessment ICABS©, the online modules (blended learning and microlearning), as well as the face to face modules. The certification program includes all of the elements of the program. We won two international awards for the high quality of our approach to intercultural training, and as the most innovative provider of intercultural training in 2019/2020.
Certified trainers and coaches can exclusively use our intercultural academy for their participants. The academy offers a broad range of country specific, target group specific, and topic specific training programs, including micro learning and ICABS©. Elements from the training programs can also be used in a modular way. The ICABS©, for example, cannot only be used as an assessment tool for expatriates, but also for the analysis of potential interventions for intercultural teams, for organizational analysis regarding future training measures, or for the evaluation of the outcomes of intercultural training sessions. With the help of the ICABS© and the micro learning modules, intercultural competency acquisition can be made transparent and measurable.
Using the ICABS© in combination with our personal action plans is also a great way to precisely analyze and measure the learning needs, so certified trainers and coaches benefit from being able to tailor their face to face training sessions to the actual needs of their clients. This allows trainers and coaches to demonstrate their unique abilities and quality off the beaten track of country specific information.
The maximum number of six participants per certification workshop series allows for a high transfer of knowledge and skills as well as for an intensive and fruitful exchange between colleagues.
