Finally a CNT, Certified National Trainer. Last weekend I attended a Junior Chamber International JCI University “Designer” course in Finland. This is a 3 day intensive course designed for advanced JCI trainers and it encompasses theory, teamwork and presentations. The main milestone is designing a full day training program from scratch that can be standardized and presented by other qualified trainers as well.
One of my goals for this year in becoming better trainer & speaker includes the CNT Award by JCI. The opportunity to attend this course came very suddenly, and I immediately decided to join. The CNT status is crucial in order to being able to conduct trainings at the JCI World Conferences and Congresses and becoming a Head Trainer for any of the JCI standard courses. Some classics include JCI Lead (Leadership Training) and Presenter (Communications Training). The next goal for me as a JCI Trainer is to collect international training hours at the JCI Conferences and Workshops and to qualify for the IG (International Graduate) Level. This is the second highest Award by JCI University (before ITF, the highest Award) and as far as I know there are only less than 5 IGs or higher currently in Austria. My plan is to achieve the IG Award by the end of 2009 and the ITF Award by 2011 the latest.
I highly encourage all JCI (in Austria: Junge Wirtschaft) members to attend JCI University trainings. These are of excellent quality & high value, and have been tested and re-improved many times with thousands of young entrepreneurs around the world. The best way to find out about the actual courses offered is to go to the JCI Website, and click on the “JCI University” and look for current courses being trained. If you are interested in becoming a JCI accredited trainer and/or are interested in developing your training skills, I can only highly recommend you to join the JCI Training Team. If you need a mentor in this regard, please go to my Training Website and fill in the application and I will help you to find you one.
Best, Niko
