Background

Since the education and training have been included within the aims of the FIM in 2021, the FIM has focused on the increasing of its talent’ pool. Among these the Seminars’ Instructors play even more crucial role to ensure the best preparation of the Stewards and consequently the best organisation of the meetings.

The FIM launched the FIM Instructor Certificate in 2022, a learning path composed of 2 Modules and 1 Inter-Module online Workshop, to equip subject matter experts with the skills and core competencies they need to provide the best learning experience to the participants. (please change this sentence also in the previous news)

Every year around 15 Instructors are invited to attend the ‘Training for the Instructors – Module 1’ that represents the first step of this learning journey. The following year, for the Inter-Module Workshop, a webinar is organised to stimulate the sharing within the Instructors’ pool.

The third year the ‘Training for the Instructors – Module 2’ completes the path.

The entire pool of Instructors shall complete the learning path in 2027 and, as of then, the FIM Instructor Certificate will be a mandatory requirement to teach in FIM Seminars.

The FIM Instructor Certificate will have a validity of 4 years; to maintain the certification it will be mandatory to attend minimum 2 continuing education courses or workshops proposed by the FIM every 4 years.

Action Plan

The workshops are usually organised after the FIM Commissions Conference.

In February 2024 the third group of 10 Seminars’ Instructors attended the Module 1 focusing on the basics of training, how to use Zoom, how to organise online Seminars and focusing on the keys of training.

And on the same day the first group of 14 Instructors attended the Module 2 reaching the final certification.

Damiano Zamana, FIM Deputy CEO and Operations Director, has thanked the group for their work and delivered the certificates.

Objectives

The FIM Instructor Certificate has been launched in 2022 with the intention to strengthen the skills of the instructors in training by using various methods, tools and through sharing and leveraging experiences.

Anticipated outcome

The FIM Instructors’ pool will impart their respective trainings more efficiently and effectively.
