Train the trainer

IMPORTANT UPDATE

After June 2024 you can apply for the CSS Train the Trainer and take a self-paced course to become a Certified Cultivating Safe Spaces Facilitator.

You will no longer have to wait for a training date that works for you, and it can be completed at any time. You will still have access to monthly coaching and check in calls. We are also adding additional days for coaching and check in calls.

We have 1 opportunity left to take the 1-day In Person Train the Trainer with Elaine Alec. We have opened up additional seats to accommodate the interest in our last live training session. To register click here.

What is the Difference between the training options & FAQs

  • The 2-Day In-Person Train the Trainer Session is created to support folks who might not have a lot of facilitation experience and are just beginning to understand Cultivating Safe Spaces. We offer 2-day Train the Trainer Programs for those who need some extra time and support to understand the framework and who need more time to prepare and practice the framework. This option is best for those who learn best through in-person connection. Completion of the 7 hour Thinkific online course is mandatory before attending our in-person training.

  • ONLINE COURSE - Implementing Cultivating Safe Spaces is a 7 hour self-paced course.

    Once you have registered and paid for the ‘Train the Trainer’ course, you will receive access to the online course.

    Please take this online course before taking the Train the Trainer. We have found that those who do not take the online course prior to our time together, makes learning difficult. We have found that many questions that come up from participants who don’t take the online course prior end up having questions that could have been answered if the course had been taken. This does take away from practice time of the framework.
