Facilitator certification in the LEGO® Serious Play® method, in London

London, where it started

Where SERIOUSWORK began.

Our first book, SERIOUSWORK, launched in London in November 2016, and London has been the home of our public courses ever since. The UK is our largest market.

London courses are sold by Serious Outcomes Ltd, our UK company, and led by Liam Isaac, a learning designer and strategic facilitator who has trained hundreds of SeriousWork graduates.

The four-day Advanced course takes you from your first model to facilitating a system model with a leadership team, in one week. The 2-day course and Advanced Only run separately too.

Four days in London

Choose two days or four.

The 2-day course comes first. Advanced Only is two more days, for its graduates. Advanced is both, back to back, and saves you money against booking them separately.

  1. The 2-day course, days one and two

    Skills building, individual and shared models, workshop design, and a live two-hour workshop you run for a group you have never met.

  2. Advanced Only, days three and four

    System models with our five-stage Systems Thinking Model©, the insight stage, a planning task with written feedback, and turning a system model into actions.

  3. Every day

    You facilitate the group yourself, more than once, with personal feedback every time you lead.

  4. After the course

    Your certificate through Certifier, lifetime access to the graduate community, Lunch and Learns, and a place on the public register if you want one.

Class size and times. Up to eight people, so everyone takes turns as the group’s facilitator. 9:00 to 17:30 on days one to three; day four of Advanced finishes at about 16:30.

Questions

Training in London: what people ask.

Which London course should I book?
If your workshops will run for an hour to half a day, the 2-day course is enough. If you will run day-long strategic work, book the 4-day Advanced course, which includes it.
Do I need any previous experience?
No. The 2-day and 4-day courses start from the beginning. Advanced Only is for people who have completed a 2-day course, with us or another provider.
Is VAT included in the price?
Yes. Prices shown for London include UK VAT at 20%. Because the course is held in the UK, UK VAT applies to every booking, including businesses based outside the UK.
What certification will I receive?
The 2-day course certifies you as a facilitator of the LEGO® Serious Play® method and materials; Advanced and Advanced Only as a System Level facilitator. Certificates come from Certifier, with an ID anyone can verify. The LEGO Group does not certify or endorse facilitators.
Can my organisation pay by invoice?
Yes. Choose invoice at checkout and we email an invoice to pay by bank transfer within 14 days. Your place is held meanwhile.
How many people are on each course?
Up to eight, so everyone facilitates the group several times and gets feedback each time.
Can you train our team in the UK?
Yes. In-house certification runs at your venue from eight people, tailored to your organisation’s challenges.
