Train the Trainer Foundation: Adult Education Mastery Course

These Are the Most Comprehensive Easy-To-Understand Adult Education Techniques We’ve Ever Created…

(And Now I Want To Show You How To Reach Every Learner…Every Time)

What if you didn’t have to “pay” for Learning?

Instead…what if Learning “paid” you?

And what if acquiring new learning was as simple as pulling a lever?

It sounds outlandish, but that’s exactly what “Learning Masters” (a.k.a Adult Education Specialists) do.  And once you have completed this mastery class, you too will know how to leverage adult education techniques such as Learning Styles and Teaching Tools to not only grow your employees learning…

…but to grow your employees learning at a PROFIT.

Did you catch that?

You’ll no longer have to practice “hope-and-pray” or “wait-and-see” learning.

Learning will happen, because you’ll know how to make it happen.

But how do you actually do it?

How do you take knowledge + understanding and turn it into wisdom and behavior change for your employees without breaking the bank?

That’s exactly what you’re about to learn…

FACT: All Organizations Need A Repeatable System For Employee Learning

(…That Doesn’t Break the Bank)

Employees are the life-blood of any organization.

It sounds cliché, but it’s true.

That’s why “one size fits all” learning strategies just aren’t enough. Organizations today must have scalable, duplicatable learning strategies that produce real, actionable results from learning if they want consistent growth and retention, and more times than not, these “scalable” strategies come in the form of adult education.

So whether you want to:

• Hook The Learner

• Become Their Favorite

• Create Your Presence

• Understand Your Learners

• Reach Every Learner

• Create Amazing Learning Materials

• Handle Challenging Learners

…quality adult education is readily available for learning.

You just know how to “teach it” the right way.

There’s just one problem: Most so-called “learning experts” and adult educators don’t know what they’re doing, and they have the results (or lack of results) to prove it.

That’s where you come in.

If you’re interested in becoming an Adult Education Specialist, then I have one question for you…

Are You A “Doer”…or Just a “Talker”

(or…why You Might Want To Take this Class)

Let’s face it: Adult Education experts are a dime a dozen.

So how do you separate those who “walk the talk” from the ones who merely…

…talk?

That’s the problem!

And at Rule the Room, it was our problem, too.

When I was a kid, my dad was a teacher and a principal. I watched the kind of impact he had in the classroom, and with his teachers that changed lives…forever.

“When I grow up, I want to have that kind of impact.” I told myself…

Twenty years ago, I set out to make that dream a reality. I went to school to learn how to be a teacher, and I diligently studied every book they taught in both undergraduate and graduate school to make it happen.

As I learned all this “theory” in school, I thought I was being let in on all the secrets my Dad knew…things the best teachers I ever had knew…BOY, WAS I WRONG!

I quickly discovered that the things I learned in school were great on paper, but often couldn’t be applied in a real classroom…

I learned very little (if anything) practical, and I needed things I could use RIGHT AWAY with ANY classroom…

In the very first class I taught, (within the first 5 minutes) I watched a desk fly across the room. After the first week of class, 50% of my students failed the test, and even more had no recall when I reviewed what I taught…

What Was I Doing Wrong?

Why had my 6 years of college training left me SO poorly equipped to handle a real-life classroom?

I needed skills I hadn’t been taught in college, so I decided to go back to all of the best instructors I ever had and ask them how they learned all the amazing techniques they used on me.

You know what they told me?

“Experience…

…some things you just have to experience and learn for yourself.”

I couldn’t accept that.

Why wasn’t there a better way to develop my skills and techniques without having to devote decades of my life to trial and error in a classroom?

I decided to make it my mission to create a program that could provide a better way, a comprehensive program incorporating the most effective teaching and training techniques we’ve ever put together so that others wouldn’t have to go through what I did.

You see, we don’t just teach adult education best practices, we actually MODEL everything we teach…

In other words: WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF…

…so we know how hard it is to find truly skilled people who know what they’re talking about.

And that’s why we created the “Adult Education Mastery” course.

We built this certification to train our own team members, but in the spirit of “open sourcing” our business (which is what Rule the Room is all about) we’re now making this training available to the world.

In short, we’re making it available to YOU…

Adult Education Mastery Course Reviews: 

  “I took this course from Jason on adult education, and it was a phenomenally useful experience.  Jason gave me a strong theoretical background for teaching adults, and also a huge arsenal of tools and strategies for engaging adults in the classroom.  I'd recommend this course to anyone who needs to teach adults." 

  - Simon Tanzman- Corporate Trainer 

  “Just wanted to thank you for the very helpful and informative Video Training these past two days.   Although I have taught adult users for > 13 years at Midlands Tech. and have many student 'peace and war stories' of my own, I feel like I learned many helpful tidbits of information that will be so very useful as I train the LMC staff in the future. Thanks again." 

  - Stephanie DiMaggio- Credentialed Trainer 

  “It helped me understand effective communication techniques as well as group dynamics. These have set me up for success not only in direct teaching situations, but also in settings from small informal meetings all the way up to meetings with executives."

Rule The Room Train The Trainer Foundation Is Different

Sure, you can probably find other “train-the-trainer” trainings and certifications that cover similar topics, but a Rule the Room Foundation is unique because it’s built and taught by real trainers who actually write and train their own classes and observe, coach and train thousands of trainers to mastery.

In other words, we aren’t “researchers” sharing “theoretical fluff”. We’re in-the-trenches trainers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn training techniques is to actually get up and teach in front of a real classroom. If that sounds like something that fits you, then welcome! You’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: “How will this Adult Education Mastery Class help me?”

A: It depends on who you are…..

If you’re a business owner, this course is a great way to learn adult education yourself. It’s also a great way to train members of your own team and get them up to speed in half the time on the latest adult education trends and best practices.

If you’re a consultant, this course is a practical way to show that you are an Adult Education Specialist, which could help you attract better, higher-paying clients, boost their ROI and efficiency, and lower turnover, safety and security concerns.

If you’re a student, this course can set you apart from other graduates who may have a business or education degree, but don’t have the specialized skills that employers today are looking for.

If you’re an employee or training professional, this course can make you more valuable to your company, which can get you that raise or promotion you may deserve (but don’t have a reason to request).

Q: “How valuable is this Rule the Room Adult Education Mastery Course?”

A: The course itself is highly valuable if your goal is to set yourself apart from the competition.   What’s even MORE valuable than any course is the knowledge and understanding you’re going to gain when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will know adult education. I’ll say that again: YOU WILL KNOW ADULT EDUCATION.

Q: “When do I have to finish the class?”

A: You can go at whatever pace suits you best! You’ve got a lot of other things going on in your life, so just because you enroll in the workshop doesn’t mean you need to complete it right away. In fact, you can start and finish the workshop whenever you want. Either way, we’re going to be there with you every step of the way to ensure you’re successful and can get certified.

Q: “How soon can I finish the class?”

A: The Adult Education Mastery class is 8 hours of video training, so if you are dedicating yourself full time to it, you could probably finish in one day, but we don’t recommend that. Instead, we recommend you take 3 – 7 days (if you can give your full attention to the material. If you only have a little bit of time each day, then you should dedicated 14 – 21 days to finish it up and take the test.

Q: “How certain can I be that I will finish?”

A: It’s never a guarantee. If it was, then our course wouldn’t mean anything. Instead, it does mean something, and because of that, you’re going to have to work at this thing to get finished. When you do finish, you can be certain that it will actually mean something. The class and the activities are both going to challenge you, but rest assured we make everything simple, easy to understand, and quick to learn. With that said, you will have to earn your completion.

Q: How hard is the course?

A: You can liken our course to the story of “goldilocks and the three bears” – not too hot and not too cold. In other words, they’re hard enough that you need to study and know your stuff, but we don’t make them intentionally hard just to be difficult. We make them as hard as they need to be to make sure you know how to “Rule the Room”. We believe learning doesn’t happen until a behavior change occurs, so to preserve the integrity of this course, we have made the class challenging and the questions specific to our proprietary Rule the Room Train the Trainer techniques, methodologies and recipes. Don’t expect to pass the test course because you have taken other trainings or certification courses in the past. This training is different, and the activites will reflect those differences.

Q: Why are Adult Education experts priceless?

A: A master at teaching adults so they can apply what they learn and grow in their skills is one of the learning team’s most valuable assets.   A successfully scaled adult education curriculum at scale can pay for itself immediately with employee growth and retention and these skills can make you truly irreplaceable.
