Corporate Learning
Corporate learning is a key part of an organization’s health.
Smart organizations know that workplace learning is an investment in the future company’s skills capacity.
Lots of research has been conducted into how people learn over the past few decades. And just as much research has been invested in finding out how that learning can build a business’ bottom line.
Learning and development today is no longer a craft but a science with rigorous research to back it. And to be a successful trainer you need to know that science.
Jonathan Halls & Associates is actively involved in the American Society for Training & Development. And we’re committed to furthering the profession to further demonstrate the value of learning.
We offer a series of courses for trainers that ground you in rigorous theory while preparing you for practical application. Yes, it’s nice to know about learning style, but how do you put that into action?
Our courses are based on the latest research and designed by Jonathan Halls who has both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in adult education and is nationally recognized in the learning field.
Like all of our courses, we very much future focused. We look at learning in ways that are totally up to date. We have developed a series of programs that go way beyond the traditional train-the-trainer workshops and are geared to developing you toward a career of continual critical self reflection.
Courses for trainers in North America are delivered by Jonathan. Courses in Europe are delivered by Mhairi Campbell.

Trainer’s Mid-Career Program
8 x Half Days
It’s easy to get in a rut in any job. As trainers, it sometimes hits us five to ten years in. We face many choices.
Do a PhD or get a Masters. Nah, that’s too much hard work.
Perhaps we go for another certification. But then certification can sometimes be pretty basic, especially when we’ve done it all before.
So what are the alternatives?
We’ve designed a mid-career program for trainers who want to take stock of what they’ve learned and refresh their work.
It’s based on a successful series of programs Jonathan Halls ran at the BBC when he was in London. You’ll meet for eight half-day meetings.
The course is pitched at an MBA level and looks at re-discovering your values as a trainer and re-aligning them to practice.
Managing the Learning Function
