MODERATOR - a consulting and training company, is pleased to invite you to participate in the School for Business Trainers  where classes are taught in English by a native speaker. We want to share our many years of experience in the conduct of training on various aspects of the market. In the course of the interesting and dynamic classes, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to prepare and conduct training, workshops and training sessions for companies. Some participants may be offered permanent co-operation involving the implementation of our programs, for example, negotiation, sales and people management.
Merit management of the school will be conducted by: Dr. Tomasz Witkowski and Dr. Sławomir Jarmuż.

Who is the school for?

For all those who are involved in conducting workshops, training sessions, discussion groups and would like to perfect these skills in English. We also invite candidates for trainers, for whom English is or will be the primary language of communication in the workplace. Our classes are attended by representatives of various professions, who teach specialized content such as: computer scientists, financiers, economists, psychologists and others. We also host incompany trainers who conduct product and soft training sessions. The classes are also attended by those who still do not have any experience working with people and would like learn how to teach at a high level, and prepare for difficult situations which they may encounter. Attention! Our school is not a language school, so the classes will focus more on the substantive issues than the language.

Expected results

• the awareness of the work problems related to training
• the ability to create training programs
• the ability of activate and control the trained group
• dealing with difficult situations during training
• the ease of public speaking conducted in a foreign language

The organization of the school
 
Because our school is not a language school, the ability to fluently communicate in English is one of the enrollment condition. Fluent communication in English should be at the FC or TOEFEL level(FC or TOEFEL certified or tested during an interview). Participants should possess a minimum of secondary education diploma and a predisposition to working with people. The basic school program includes 10 two-day meetings (15 hours each). Classes are held in the academic year from September to June.

The application form and curriculum vitae should be sent to:

After taking the final examination, participants receive a diploma along with the grade. In the case when the participant does not take the exam, the participant receives a certificate of participation in the school activities. Those participants who could not attend the whole course, for various reasons, have the opportunity and obligation to make up for the missed lessons with the next edition. For those participants with language problems, we offer extra English lessons. Selected participants may be offered an apprenticeship and a supervision of workshops conducted by them.
