Overview

It goes without saying that an effective facilitator is one of the most important components for a successful fatherhood program. To be an effective agent for change, a fatherhood program must be implemented by quality facilitators.

You can use these facilitation skills with any fatherhood program or curriculum of your choosing!

Offered by the nation’s fatherhood leader and delivered by NFI President Christopher Brown, the Effective Facilitation Training teaches you the characteristics and skills to be an excellent fatherhood program facilitator, adult learning styles that affect how your participants learn and engage, and how to properly prepare to effectively facilitate each and every session you lead.

This training program is offered online, on demand, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Individuals who complete the Effective Facilitation Training will receive a Certificate and web badge.

Effective Facilitation Training has 3 Parts:

• Part 1 > The Facilitator: Characteristics and Skills
• Part 2 > The Participants (Fathers): Learning Styles, Autonomy, Mastery & Purpose, Cognitive Biases
• Part 3 > Facilitation: Your Role, Preparation, and Techniques
