Are you an instructor at a college, trade school, or teaching program focused on skill and career development? The Certified Facilitator of Adult Learning (CFAL) program offers a self-paced, 20-hour online course designed to help you create impactful, engaging, and competency-based learning experiences for adult learners.

 

With CFAL, you’ll learn how to go beyond traditional lectures and passive information sharing. This program equips you to transform information into real competence, guiding you in creating structured, sequential learning experiences that empower students to internalize and apply their knowledge effectively.

Why CFAL Works

  1. Competency-Based Focus
    CFAL introduces you to the art and science of adult learning, teaching you how to dissect complex information and present it in digestible, skill-building segments. This approach ensures that students don’t just memorize facts but actually develop the practical skills and understanding they need in their fields.
  2. Real-Life Course Development
    CFAL provides an ideal platform to build courses, programs, or workshops you’ll actually teach. Whether in a classroom, workshop, or online setting, CFAL helps you shape your course around real-world objectives that resonate with your teaching goals.
  3. Expert Guidance and Personalized Feedback
    As you develop your course, CFAL pairs you with an educational expert who guides you at seven key points along the way, helping you refine your design and teaching approach. This interaction ensures you’re supported throughout the process, building your confidence as you go.
  4. Versatile Teaching Skills for Any Setting
    The skills you develop in CFAL are adaptable for a variety of teaching contexts, from Zoom to in-person workshops. Whether presenting to a conference hall of hundreds or a small community group, CFAL equips you to teach effectively and confidently, no matter the setting.
  5. A Repeatable, Proven Teaching Process
    CFAL isn’t just a course; it’s a process you’ll use time and again, allowing you to adapt and grow with each class you teach. CFAL-trained instructors often gain a reputation as “natural teachers” because they’ve learned a consistent, proven framework to design and deliver impactful adult learning.
