Becoming FLIGBY’s Certified Partner
Onboarding Process for Potential FLIGBY Certified Partners
Becoming a certified FLIGBY partner involves a structured onboarding process designed to equip coaching/training/consulting organizations with the tools, knowledge, and resources to implement the FLIGBY simulation effectively by their clients. The process includes several key steps:
- Exploration of fit – An initial assessment is conducted to understand the partner’s existing capabilities, training focus, and alignment with FLIGBY’s mission.
- Intro to FLIGBY’s world – Potential partners participate in an orientation session that provides an overview of the FLIGBY simulation, its objectives, and its unique value proposition in leadership training.
- Train the Trainer program (online or onsite) – This session covers the methodologies and tools used in briefing and debriefing, emphasizing the experiential learning approach. Participants undergo extensive training, including hands-on experience with the FLIGBY simulation, learning how to navigate the platform, and facilitating sessions.
- Certification – Following training, potential partners demonstrate their understanding and ability to implement and debrief the simulation effectively.
Once certified, partners receive access to a suite of resources, including facilitator guides, marketing materials, and ongoing support resources, to aid in delivering the simulation. They are also integrated into the FLIGBY community, allowing them to connect with other partners and share best practices.
Through this structured onboarding process, FLIGBY ensures its certified partners are well-prepared to deliver impactful leadership training experiences, fostering a community dedicated to exploring innovative learning methods.
