    Public Workshop vs. Private Train-the-Trainer Program

    Not sure whether a public workshop or private program is the best fit? Public workshops are ideal for individuals or small teams. Private programs are better when your organization wants to train a larger internal group, customize examples, use company-specific content, or align the workshop to a specific methodology or rollout.

    Public Workshops Are Best For:

    • Individuals attending on their own
    • Small groups from the same organization
    • New trainers who need foundational skills
    • Experienced trainers seeking fresh techniques
    • Professionals who want scheduled public dates

    Private Programs Are Best For:

    • Organizations training multiple internal trainers
    • Teams needing customized examples
    • Companies with proprietary processes or content
    • Large onboarding or training rollouts
    • Groups needing onsite or private virtual delivery
