Deepen and broaden your facilitation skills in an advanced workshop open only to graduates of Training for Social Action Trainers. Together we'll tackle some of training's biggest challenges -- including doing cross-cultural work, handling conflict and strong emotions, and modifying workshop designs on the fly -- and experiment with new solutions.
- Receive in-depth, personal coaching on your goals
- Prepare for cross-cultural work, including international training
- Use more practice time to experiment with new approaches in a supportive setting
- Learn about more training tools and how to use them effectively
- Meet trainers with a range of life experiences
The workshop begins with dinner and registration at 6 p.m. on Monday and ends at approximately 6 p.m. Saturday evening. Please be advised that this workshop is an experiential package and that partial attendance is not allowed. Except for the first day, when the workshop starts in the evening, the workshop begins at 9 a.m every day (8 a.m. if you would like to arrive early for breakfast) and runs into the evening. It usually closes between 9:00 or 10:00 pm, in some cases later. There are a number of breaks throughout the day. If you have any questions about the hours of the workshop, please contact us at info@trainingforchange.org.
- To assist each participant to take their next step as a facilitator or trainer

This workshop is open only to people who have taken our basic facilitators' workshop, Training for Social Action Trainers. You must take the TSAT before you take the advanced workshop.
