Our Trainer Certification is Fast, But the Learning Lasts. You will participate in three days of workshops, and 12 hours of webinars for a total of 36 hours of training. Since you will be trained to lead the award-winning Accelerated Innovation & Creativity Training Workshop, you will first “experience” that workshop by attending it with a larger group of people. After you have completed the Accelerated Innovation Workshop on the first two days, you will continue your training for a third day in the Innovation Trainer Workshop. Your training will continue for several weeks and months via convenient webinars.
Bring a bigger suitcase so you can easily bring back all your Trainer Certification Resources that include:
Help More People
If you enjoy helping people, you will enjoy leading innovation workshops. People come to the workshop with goals, challenges and problems. Thanks to your training, they leave the workshop with ideas, solutions and plans that address their goals, challenges and problems. You help them learn to help themselves by tapping into their full creative and innovative potential. Many Certified Trainers have a large collection of thank you notes and testimonials from graduates who greatly appreciate what the trainer has done for them.
Develop Valuable Skills
Certification will help you become skilled at designing, organizing and training teams and individuals to quickly produce more innovation. Demand for your expertise will increase as more people discover your abilities to train others to apply proven innovation tools, techniques and methods.
Save & Earn Money
Certified Trainers are able to purchase training resources such as the KnowBrainer at significant discounts, thereby saving their organizations thousands of dollars. Many trainers generate profitable revenue for their companies through in-house workshop or public seminars.
Enhance Your Credentials
Innovation is popular and the demand for innovation training will continue to increase. Differentiate yourself from others by communicating your unique Certified Innovation Trainer credentials on your resume, biography and online profiles.
Expand Your Network
Be prepared to develop valuable relationships and friendships with other people who are in your certification workshop. Continue growing those relationships in the follow-up webinars and meetings. You can expect to benefit from joining an exclusive community of over 100 Certified Trainers, who have completed the certification training.
Over two decades have been invested in developing, refining and testing proven models and processes that can be taught in training workshops. First, trainers will learn how the human brain consists of four quadrants that comprise the 4BrainThinker™ 4-Quadrant Model.
Second, trainers will be introduced to four unique processes that help them facilitate creative and innovative thinking. The M-Curve, New 3-Rs, ideate & filterate, and Accelerated Innovation process will clarify how you can think better, faster and smarter.
Finally, trainers will learn how to help people use their whole brain by applying the 4-Stage Accelerated Innovation® Process that consists of Stage 1: Investigating Needs, Stage 2: Creating Ideas, Stage 3: Evaluating Solutions, and Stage 4: Activating Plans.
Research shows that “lack of tools” is a primary block to creativity and innovation. Innovators want MORE TOOLS, and FEWER PowerPoint decks, 3-ring binders and books. The compact KnowBrainer tool summarizes the entire Accelerated Innovation Process into a portable tool that can be taken anywhere and does not require computer hardware or software. The tool actually fits in a pocket, briefcase or purse. All workshop participants get a tool kit full of unique tools that accelerate innovative thinking. You will receive the latest version of the award-winning KnowBrainer Innovation and Creativity Tool that increases creativity by over 500%. The KnowBrainer summarizes the 4-Stage Accelerated Innovation Process that is the foundation of the workshop and helps you apply the process and techniques during and after the workshop.
All trainers learn to facilitate powerful techniques that stimulate minds to innovate. You will become skilled at teaching proven techniques such as the Idea Exchange™, FlashThinking™, Questionating, Wordating™, Visualating™ and Quotemplating™ techniques.

Trainers Receive Inspiring Coaching & Mentoring SupportOnce registered, you will be assigned a Master Trainer who will help prepare you to make the most of your certification experience. Your Master Trainer has conducted the workshop many times, so he or she is qualified to offer you advice and guidance to help you become an outstanding innovation trainer.
You will be invited to participate in optional phone calls with your Master Trainer before and after the certification workshops. Your Master Trainer will provide you with up to four Innovation Surveys that will help you assess your training experience, innovation opportunities and needs. The assessment results will help you and your Master Trainer prepare for the certification workshop and follow-through.
Your learning continues AFTER you leave the certification workshop. You will be encouraged to invest important time after the training to frequently talk with your Master Trainer.
Trainers are encouraged to participate in at least 12 hours of “Innovation Trainer” webinars led by your Master Trainer. These follow-up webinars also give you an opportunity to reconnect with other Certified Trainers and share needs, ideas and best practices.
Thousands of people from around the world have graduated from the Accelerated Innovation workshop. They are easy to identify because they usually have a smile on their face and a KnowBrainer tool in their hand. You will also receive a colorful “Certificate of Graduation” to frame and post next to your other awards, diplomas or graduation certifications.
