What Clients say about the Course

• The TTIT from EIFID is THE program to choose if you want to gain diverse skills & tools and get new ideas & insights to develop your intercultural training. You benefit from the best practices of experienced experts and learn tips & tricks to become a great trainer. One of the best things about it is: It’s not ending after the weeks of training are over; it’s beginning! With you becoming part of a global community of intercultural experts. Isabelle Roske

• Joining TTIT with EIFID was by far the best investment this year. Not only the training content is packed with knowledge and valuable tools for your professional development as an intercultural trainer, but it also allows you to learn from a very diverse team of professionals. The fact that the trainers’ team comes from different backgrounds and has working experience in various sectors only adds value to these six weeks. Elena Turlaeva

• Train the Intercultural Trainer is a fabulous way to ground your intercultural knowledge and explore best practices in delivering authentic, practical training. I was tuning in online from New Zealand, this gave me a unique lens to experience this training. I had been concerned that a eurocentric approach would be taken during this training; however, I was encouraged by the breadth of experience both trainers and other participants had. I would recommend this training to anyone keen to step out into ICC training or is interested in the Intercultural Development field of study. I come from a Community Development and Human Rights Advocacy background. I could take knowledge usually used in international business settings and apply it to my work with notable success. This training is very well organized, and as an online training, I was impressed at how the team delivered such engaging classes. Sarah Macdonald

This allows you to be fully present, active, asking questions, etc.

Five reasons to join the TTIT

SAVING TIME

The Train the Intercultural Trainer Intensive Program results from a long way of asking questions and finding answers. All by ourselves. This is why at EIFID, we believe you do not have to kick the door open. We already did it – that should be enough. And It’s a waste of your time – if we know the answer, we´ll give it to you.

INDIVIDUALITY

We focus on your strengths. Everyone is an individual and brings their unique talents to work with people. We teach how to work with your unique strengths and empower you to use them in training sessions.

FEEDBACK

We love feedback. With feedback, we aim to uncover your blind spots in a loving and caring way. And we encourage you to do the same. We believe feedback enables you to grow much faster as a trainer and human being.

METHODS

We will use conventional and unconventional teaching and learning methods involving your mind, body, and spirit. They will support you on your way to becoming aware of yourself and your training participants. We do not reinvent the wheel. The methods worked very well on us, they will be working on you too.

DEVELOPMENT

We care a lot about your development as a human and as a trainer. This is why we take care of the group process – there are always two facilitators in the room for you to benefit from the broad experience of their teaching styles.
