Format & Scope

Live online format: four core modules on Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Six live training rounds, in the evening, included in the package

Training program with 25 time hours (16 are mandatory to pass the exam).

THIS IS WHAT WE EMPHASIZE IN THIS TRAINING

Try out tools yourself & learn from mistakes

You will use the best tools for online seminars yourself and conduct training sequences in learning tandem in pairs or groups of three. The more mistakes you make as a team, the fewer mishaps await you later when you’re no longer working in a protected space.

Share experiences & get feedback

In each session you will have time to consult with other trainers and benefit from the experiences of the group. In addition, you will receive constructive feedback from the trainer and the group during the numerous exercises. The exercises will also guide you step by step to pass your exam.

Understand GDPR compliant & globally established standards

You will get to know and use the (DSGVO compliant) tools and methods preferred by the customer in Germany and Europe. In addition, you will gain a sound insight into what international customers know and expect from you.

Become part of a living network

Our community of coaches is waiting for you: Take advantage of your and our contacts with senior women trainers, coaches and consultants who are leaders in their field. An open-minded community is invaluable, especially when approaching customers in sales, new projects or didactic questions.

Arrange a meeting with Marius Jost at a fixed date to get your own idea of the certificate program if you are specifically interested.

Claudia Hoffmann (Alumni July 2021) about the training as an online trainer completed on 31.07.2021 with explicit permission. Thanks for your feedback at the end of the live!

Congratulations to our most current group for passing the December 20, 2021 exam. You did a great job and everyone passed!

FOUR CORE MODULES PLUS FOUR FREE TRAINING ROUNDS

Module 1 - 09°° - 13°° h ACTIVATE PARTICIPANTS FROM THE START - Marius Jost

Compas
In Module 1, you will learn how to activate participants right from the start of live training using the five-step model and how to facilitate a dialogue even with larger groups. However, interactivity is not only enabled by a successful seminar start.

That’s why you’ll get a model that’s proven effective in designing interactive online training. In our exercise on this, you will experience how to easily build your seminar plan step by step to activate participants from the very first minute.

You’ll learn how to engage in dialogue with larger groups & what makes participants invest in the learning process.

Along the way, you’ll experience good introductions, meaningful ice-breakers, short energizers, and recommended “check-outs” throughout the sessions that will go over well online and encourage your participants.

Module 2 - 09°° - 13°° h Online seminar didactics and targeted tool use - Marius Jost

Tools

In module two, you’ll learn about Mural as a powerful whiteboard proven in continuing education. Concrete examples are the best way to get started in this world.

Slip into the trainer role with your small group already during the face-to-face event (after a preparation phase) in order to try out the Padlet, Mentimeter or Mural presented so far yourself and to receive feedback.

To avoid a tool battle, we focus on the best-in-class systems. At the end of the module, we classify the tools presented so far. You’ll also have a checklist that includes relevant tool alternatives in each category according to price and GDPR criteria.

Module 3 - 09°° - 13°° h Liberating Structures & Border Situations online - Daniel Kottke

Playstation

Liberating Structures allow trainers to design seminars openly and to find solutions together with their participants. In this session we will look at two concrete examples of implementation and at the end of the day you will also receive a small “reference book” with further options for your own seminars.

Part two of the module: Difficult situations online (Difficult participants). Online, too, a group is much more than the sum of its members. Unfortunately, you lose a group faster online than in the real seminar room. Therefore, we look at a specific situation, “the challenging participant”, and develop a solution approach for it in small groups. You will then receive further approaches to solving certain difficult situations in the online seminar.

Module 4 - 09°°- 12°° h and 13³°-16³° Confident moderation in the online setting - Marius Jost

Tools

“What is there to consider when moderating online? What are the differences between physical and virtual learning environments? What are the pitfalls?”

On this Saturday, you and your tandem partner will take on the role of trainer and perform your prepared exercise with us as test participants. In order to allow all tandems enough time for training and joint reflection, this last module will take place in the morning and after the lunch break in the afternoon. If you want to experience all the groups, you can of course visit both parts.

Training round: Big Blue Button (fully DSGVO-compliant seminar platform)

Playstation

In this training round we dial and together in the DSGVO compliant video conferencing system BigBlueButton. You can upload slides yourself, experience how break-out rooms work there, and learn all you need to know about the pitfalls of the system.

It is possible that a module or a training session is taken over by another trainer from our team.

Training round: Professional video presence

Movie

In a relaxed atmosphere we will discuss how you can increase your sound and image quality for live seminars and videos immensely without having to sell your gold coin collection.

Here we can demonstrate hardware, show which components fit together & individually answer your questions about studio setup.

You can find more bonus training rounds in the PDF info pack, which you can download here.

Training round: ZOOM

Camera

In this training round there is time to start break-out sessions yourself and get familiar with one or the other trap of the system. Here you can slip into the role of moderator and co-moderator yourself and practice the moves that you urgently need in training.

Training round teams

Microsoft Teams has enjoyed an unprecedented triumph over the past year. Although it was not developed for continuing education, today de facto many trainings take place online on it.

In this training round, there is time to properly understand the roles and functions of teams and to become familiar with one or another pitfall of the system. We also look at how to conduct surveys internally in the system and which Team features are better not used at the moment because they are not yet mature.

You can find more bonus training rounds in the PDF info pack, which you can download here.

Training round: structure for large seminar programs Due to demand we offer two dates

This round of training has been added since our February 2021 training. Here, all those who need to plan over three training days or design entire seminar programs will get their money’s worth. We would be happy to share our experience with you and take a closer look at your designs. The workshop runs 1½ hours.

EXPERIENCES OF OUR PARTICIPANTS FROM OUR COACHING PROGRAM FOR TRAINERS

Mid-December 2022 via LinkedIn

Sabine Wesely, Teacher for Special Tasks Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts

As a university lecturer who also offers training and coaching in companies, from March I was in the situation of having to offer seminars online overnight. Students were left to their own devices and immediately (because the semester started) needed online teaching that was informative, entertaining, structured, and supportive. As an “inexperienced” person in the field of online training, I immediately needed support. I came across Marius Jost through an informative article and signed up for his very educational webinar where he explained the basics of online training. I was able to take a lot with me. Subsequently, I booked several coaching appointments on the topic of creating and conducting online trainings. I like Marius Jost because he is competent, supportive, creative and practical. He clearly conveys techniques that can be quickly implemented and responds individually to needs and questions. Unconventional, concrete support is also in his repertoire. With his help, I was able to convert all seminars, talks and coaching sessions to online and have received very good feedback. I even enjoy it! Many thanks for that!

Michael Hübler, Senior Trainer, Mediator and Author

Although I have been working as a business trainer for many years and already had some experience with Moodle and Ilias, I wanted to further educate myself on the topic of e-learning with the goal of establishing this area as a permanent pillar of my activities.

My research led me to IST. Marius doesn’t just impart the usual standard recommendations that can also be easily found on the internet, but has a wealth of tips that have really helped me as an e-trainer. With his guidance, I was able to create my own e-learning concept that exactly fits my personality and my customers. I probably wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own.

The coaching program with Marius was definitely worth it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again, Marius, and your team!

Judith Kohn, trainer & coach for specialists and executives

I am a trainer with heart and soul and want to remain well positioned in these challenging times. Since I have only trained live so far, I wanted to be coached by a full professional on the topic of online training instead of painstakingly gathering all the information myself. In Marius’ coaching program, I learned an incredible number of tools that are suitable for my work and that give me the feeling of feasibility again. It even made me want to enhance my future classroom trainings with the many creative online tools and make them even more sustainable. In terms of content, I would like to highlight Marius’ expertise and in-depth experience in the use of online tools. Humanly, it was a pleasure to work with him. He tailored the content to me individually, patiently answered all my questions, and helped me break down resistance to online methods with his friendly and easy manner. I had the feeling that he loved what he was doing from the heart. I recommend the program to anyone who wants to equip themselves for the future and have fun at the same time. From the cost – benefit aspect, this is the most valuable thing I’ve done in the last few years! Thank you!

Dr. Esther Curdt, bgm consulting Health Manager - Supervisor

Absolutely recommendable: Five stars
Suddenly no more face-to-face events, all appointments canceled until further notice – these are tough times for freelance trainers right now. So you have to change: Online formats are requested, but how do you implement them if you’ve never done it before? The webinar by Marius Jost was the first clue for me as an absolute beginner: I am in good hands here, the man knows what he is talking about! Therefore, I immediately signed up for another course with him and my expectations were more than met: With profound expertise, humor and wit, a lot of flexibility for my own topics and always with a good answer to all questions (even technical ones), Marius helped me to design and properly implement online formats.

I look forward to training my groups online and actually using a program or two for online interactions. Another great thing about this program is that you can try things out for yourself and get honest feedback. I can only recommend it to everyone, thank you Marius!”
