Experiential Learning Design


2-Day Online Workshop for Trainers & Learning Professionals

May 8 & 15 | 9:00–4:30 (Online)
12 Hours of Continuing Education

In this two-day online workshop, we’ll examine what distinguishes training that informs from training that shifts behaviour, and explore how experiential design bridges the gap between the two.

You’ll leave with a practical framework for assessing the quality of training already underway in your organization and the tools to strengthen it.

Designing training that changes practice

I draw on more than 20 years of experience teaching in the nationally respected Diploma in Adult Education program at St. Francis Xavier University. Grounded in those experiential learning foundations, this workshop equips participants with practical, research-informed tools they can apply immediately.

Grounded in experience

  • Anyone building workshops without formal training in design

  • Trainers who want to sharpen their design skills

  • New trainers preparing to facilitate for the first time

  • Subject matter experts asked to design training

  • Team members stepping into facilitation roles

This workshop is a good fit for

  • A clear experiential design framework you can reuse

  • A drafted structure or outline for a real workshop you are developing

  • Practical templates and tools for planning sessions

  • A lens for evaluating and strengthening existing training

  • Greater confidence in your design decisions

What you’ll walk away with

  • “This course will really help us revamp and strengthen our workshops.”
