What Participants Say about our TOT Programs

The IBCT certification is a highly valued quality marker appreciated by our clients in the drilling industry. It provides the necessary standards both for our training process as well as the right conduct standards for all our trainers within the Lloyd Register Training Academy.

The Train the Trainer module (IBCT Certified Associate Trainer level) offered by the Trainsmart, Inc is excellent training for new trainers. For seasoned trainers, it gives good reminders and fresh perspectives on current habits and practices. The content is robust, yet simple. The facilitator was flexible, knowledgeable, and provided good constructive feedback.
The small class size also allowed for great collaboration, networking, and sharing of knowledge between participants. The practical sessions were most useful to me and the evaluation received has helped me to improve and hone my skills.
There is however an opportunity for enhancement in the after program follow up and communication regarding the finalization of the certifications offered through the program.

IBCT certified train-the-trainer programs are one of a kind. Staying certified keeps me on top of the game in the talent development industry.

Attending the post-graduate course “IBCT Certified Trainer” with IBCT (17 years ago!) was a very good choice in my career. As a manager, I learned that many managers are too busy with controlling spreadsheets and ‘try to let the grass grow faster by pulling it’. How to develop, coach and train people I learned with the IBCT. From strategic education, transfer of training, didactic skills and more were a part of this train-the-trainer program. I recommend the program!

I feel the most important take away from the “Train the Trainer” program was the concept of DISC that helped me understand the four basic human styles i.e. Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and  Conscientiousness. Once one starts understanding the naturally built-in human trends and characters for yourself and others; that’s where one could be more effective in imparting knowledge, help develop a better relationship, rapport and empathize with others.

As a trainer, we can help other trainers understand this concept and the circle can get bigger and bigger with a domino effect and surely can help pave a path making the world a better place to live.

The reason why IBCT training is important to me is that I feel, once  I am certified IBCT trainer, I would like to be a contributor spreading the knowledge, be part of the  ‘Train the Trainer’  offerings around the world as I get better with my domain, teams, and people I work with.

The IBCT certification and training provided me a great deal of confidence when it came to
developing and designing curriculum. The skills combined with the language you learn to
incorporate into your training aided me with engaging high-level participants such as CEO’s,
directors, etc.

The Train-the-Trainer program was so fun and rewarding, because I got to meet other trainers with various levels of experience from all over the country. They shared tips with me from their experiences and gave me constructive feedback about my training to help me improve. I believe the IBCT certification is important, because it proves that you are qualified to train anywhere, not just in your own company.

The IBCT train-the-trainer program was the perfect fit for me. As a keynote speaker and author, my focus has always been on the message; however, with my IBCT training, I learned that wasn’t enough. The skills and insights I learned from IBCT on how to get the message across effectively and with different learning styles in mind, makes my civility training far more engaging and robust. My own train-the-trainer instructor was outstanding! She, literally, modelled what she was teaching each moment of each day of the training. I’m proud to be certified by IBCT.

I have now been recertified again for the period 2020-2023. This is the first time that I have applied for and gone through a recertification. Actually, I was a bit late in applying for the extension of my IBCT certification as a certified trainer and human resource development consultant. Partly caused by very busy work and actually just forgot to think about it. Fortunately, IBCT’s head office in Rotterdam was so attentive to me about the end of the first period as CT / HRDC. In the region where I work as an educational professional, however, it is desirable to show that the profession as a trainer and teacher is carried out from a qualified position. This region and especially the country of Suriname, where I live and work, requires professionals who take the lead in developing framework and training institutions. That is a large part of my work here in Suriname and I have been doing it for decades with a lot of dedication and passion.

A lot of new knowledge
As I have indicated above, the recertification is in order again. And I am already looking forward to the next recertification in 2023. Because what IBCT has succeeded very well with the way they think about certification is that I came out of this training with a good case and a bag of new knowledge. Not only that I had to think carefully about what I should work on in the next 3 years in order to further improve my own competences as a trainer, but the tailor-made course, which is part of the recertification, has also contributed a lot of new knowledge and knowledge that has already sunk away achieved.
Anyone who is also considering getting certified by IBCT, or (still) wants to follow the recertification, I recommend to take a look at their website. And of course, I am always open to share my experiences with IBCT upon request.

The IBCT train the trainer training was a very positive experience for our entire team. It gave us new perspectives on creating learning programs; by starting with strong objectives, using the ABCD method, or knowing your audience and their stage of learning, as well as potential cultural differences, when developing learning.

As a train-the-trainer partner of IBCT in the Netherlands and Belgium, we are glad to stand out from the mass with more than 20 certified associate trainers and certified professional trainers. By applying the IBCT standards, our courses are practical, interesting and enjoyable.

The – IBCT certification – has also given me the confidence needed to walk in to a training with senior leaders knowing that I’d be seen as credible because of it.

The International Board of Certified Trainers (IBCT) jump-started my career into the field of adult education. The material provided as well as the individual attention provided by my trainer gave me a rounded development, helping me realize my passion to not just give a man a fish but teach him to fish.
The IBCT is where my journey started for continuous learning and development of my skills. I know the IBCT can give you the tools to make a difference in the world.

Holding an Associate Trainer Certification from IBCT allows us to show our clients, our prospective clients and our internal stakeholders that we value and strive to attain the highest standards in training design, delivery and evaluation. It also speaks to the value that we, as a company, place on training and the quality and consistency that we aspire to achieve with our training programs.  IBCT trainer certification is an integral part of our overall training culture.

The Train-The*Trainer sharpened my trainer skills in many ways to prepare for the future.
Taking the boring classroom training to a new level. I’m so excited, I can’t wait!

The IBCT certified Train-the-Trainer program of TrainSmart is an effective way to prepare new and existing trainers to develop the skills and techniques necessary for effective training engagement and outcomes. The training gave us an opportunity to put what we learned into practice as well as receive immediate feedback and recommendations from our trainer and peers. It was a valuable learning experience that I am able to apply to my current job as a Clinical Trainer. I appreciate having the opportunity to attend this training as it helped prepare me to facilitate more effective trainings. The certification process exemplifies that I took the time to learn additional ways to enhance my method of teaching. It would be an honor to become certified as an IBCT Certified Professional Trainer as it helps elevate our competence and marketability in the field. Thank you for this great opportunity!

The IBCT training course was a phenomenal course for beginning or seasoned trainers.They had something to suite all learning types that make it a fun and knowledgeable experience.

I personally loved learning how to create a high level facilitator guide and learning the importance on how to make a connection to your audience to help deliver the most effective way for classroom comprehension

While continuing education and obtaining IBCT certification was a personal advancement goal, the opportunity to expand and share my knowledge is a driving factor for continuous improvement. The experience I had while acquiring certification was outstanding. I had a fantastic instructor who offered tools, knowledge, and inspiration that helped set the foundation necessary to establish clear objectives for myself and my learners. I am eager to move into the next chapter and see what develops. I encourage all to explore the option of IBCT certification as an excellent step in their journey.
