The purpose of CFAL’s online training is to equip educators of adults in diverse environments with the skills to organize, facilitate, and assess their training programs using Adult Learning Theories and Active Teaching Strategies.

Certified Facilitator of Adult Learning (CFAL) is a comprehensive 20-hour online course designed for participants to create their own training courses, programs, or workshops.

CFAL is a 20 hour self-paced course. Completion is recommended within 2 months. Should the need arise a one month extension is available upon request giving a total of 3 months to complete the course for certification.

When you enroll in CFAL you travel through 3 Modules: Teaching, Learning, and Evaluation.

• Access to all resource materials in all modules is given immediately upon enrollment, allowing you to choose your own path through the course.
• CFAL is a working course. Using the resources provided, you design your own training program, course or workshop in your area of expertise.
• Your design is communicated to an expert facilitator using your own Google Doc page, who provides feedback in 7 areas of course design:
  • Analysis of your Current Teaching Practice
  • Adult Learning Practice
  • Determining Objectives, Content and Purpose Assignment
  • Designing Your Course – Integrating Objectives, Content, And Learning Experiences
  • Facilitation Questions Assignment
  • Pre-Post Test Assignment
  • Your Course Evaluation Assignment
• Successful completion of CFAL is determined by your ability, with coaching, to design and submit a training program, course, or workshop using your own content.
  • Your program will demonstrate the integration of clear objectives, resources and active learning experiences, and evaluative tools designed to develop both confidence and competence in the participants you will be teaching.
• You will then receive a certificate stating that you have successfully completed 20 contact hours and are a Certified as a Facilitator of Adult Learning
