Train the Trainer

Organizations planning to train 100 or more people in a twelve month time frame in an Information Mapping classroom-based learning program may greatly benefit by certifying their own Information Mapping Instructor. Our Train the Trainer program provides a cost-effective and convenient way for you to make Information Mapping workshops a standard part of your in-house training program.

Program Description
The Information Mapping Train the Trainer Instructor Certification and Licensing Program allows your organization to use your own in-house instructors to deliver Information Mapping seminars. Through this program, Information Mapping works with your qualified instructor candidates to train and certify them to deliver one or more Information Mapping seminars. Once certified, your instructors deliver the seminars using participant seminar materials licensed from Information Mapping.

Benefits of Instructor Certification

• quality training provided by instructors who understand your organization and its needs
