Certified Career Conversations Facilitator Programme

Empower internal champions to sustain a culture of growth.

Build Lasting Capability Inside Your Organisation

The Confident Career Conversation and Career Compass masterclasses spark insight and action. The Certified Career Conversations Facilitator Programme takes that momentum further, building in-house capability so your managers, mentors, and HR professionals can confidently deliver these sessions themselves.

Through guided learning, live facilitation practice, and ready-to-use materials, participants become certified facilitators equipped to cascade Antoinette’s proven frameworks across your organisation.

It’s the ideal way to make career conversations not just an event, but a sustainable part of your culture.

What It Is

A comprehensive train-the-trainer certification that enables your internal facilitators to deliver Antoinette Oglethorpe’s Career Conversations programmes effectively and consistently.

Participants learn not just the content but the mindset, structure, and delivery techniques that make these sessions engaging, brain-friendly, and impactful. They finish certified and confident to facilitate masterclasses, webinars, or workshops using Antoinette’s materials and methods.

This is where knowledge becomes legacy — embedding capability and consistency long after the keynote or initial rollout.

How It Works

The programme blends live learning, self-study, and practical facilitation experience, designed to fit around busy schedules.

Typically completed over 12 weeks, it includes:

  • Six live 2-hour virtual workshops with Antoinette
    12 hours of guided online learning and reflection
  • Access to the Facilitator Resource Hub on Teachable
    Coaching, peer learning, and live facilitation practice
  • Personalised feedback and certification on completion
  • Flexible start dates and delivery formats are available for cohorts or individuals.
