The trap I see a lot of facilitators fall into is running an activity and hoping that connection magically appears.
That’s why I often point people to Voltage Control’s Facilitation Certification.
It’s a 3-month, cohort-based online program built around core facilitation competencies aligned with the International Association of Facilitators.
Rather than pushing one framework, they’re method-agnostic: you learn how to think like a facilitator, diagnose what a group really needs, and then choose the right tools for the moment.
There’s a strong emphasis on practice, feedback, and designing sessions that are purposeful, playful, and inclusive.
What participants rave about most is the transformation in confidence and language. One alum told Voltage Control that the certification…
“…helped me name the skills I already had, sharpen them, and add a whole new catalogue of ideas and techniques…”
… and that it made them an indispensable asset on their leadership team.
The learning doesn’t stop when the 3 months end.
Graduates receive lifetime access to ongoing office hours, discounts on workshops and the annual summit, a comprehensive video library, and a global community of peers to continue practising with.
There are also partner perks and discounts that make it easier to keep stretching your facilitation craft over time.
The next application deadline is 19 December for the upcoming cohorts.
If you’re ready to deepen your facilitation, I highly recommend checking out Voltage Control’s Facilitation Certification page (above) to explore this deadline, other cohort options, and available time zones.
thaaaaanks for this, mark.
at 5,000usd, i wonder what their scholarship options might be.
