OUR PROGRAM
Our program is a deep dive and an experiential learning journey to get you up to speed in Virtual Facilitation, but step-by-step.
The workshop has 5 Live Sessions over 5 weeks. During this period participants will have enough time and opportunities to experience, study and practice in the virtual environment.

You will work in small learning groups to get ready to lead live practices with the whole group during the last sessions.
What you will learn:
Virtual facilitation techniques to improve your practice
The tools and methods to boost engagement and collaboration
Strategies for successful virtual workshops and learning programs
How to develop a new mindset for digital collaboration

What Participants Say
Robin Neidorf
Strategy, operations, and ROI for communities, foundations, and organizations
Over the past 15 years, I've probably led thousands of online meetings, workshops and discussions. But the session I ran last night - the first one since I participated in Virtual Facilitation's 5-week workshop - was 100x better. I was better prepared, used the tools more fluidly and effectively, and achieved a high level of engagement like never before.
The virtual facilitation team were the very definition of "best practice" in pacing the program well, connecting the participants into a learning cohort, and fun.
Elayna Alexandra
MBA, ACC - Coach, Strategist + Facilitator
Virtual Facilitation was the best hands-on training I have participated in a very long time if not ever. Before this learning, I knew a little bit about zoom but really didn't have a strong grasp of how to make the most of online meetings.
Now I feel I can confidently facilitate even complex events, trainings, workshops or webinars!
Donald Kerper
Executive Coach, Certified Professional Facilitator
The Virtual Facilitation group offered a great course. It is a "hands-on" course; no books, no manuals, no rules and regulations. Instead, you jump in and see what it can do while being guided by three professionals who do know the intricacies of each tool and platform they share with their students.
DJ King
Performance Optimization and Leadership Consulting
For anyone who needs to design and/or facilitate workshops, classes, teambuilding...any virtual event, this course will provide you with the tools, skills and knowledge to do it well. I highly recommend Fernando and his team. They are generous facilitators with a wealth of knowledge.
Juliana Ordonhes
Partner at Lumo Consulting
The Virtual Facilitation Workshop was light, fun and dynamic! I was looking for a course that would help me learn tools and methods, and develop skills in online facilitation, but I got a lot more than that. In addition to techniques and practice, the reflections and group work enabled me to develop myself.
