Course Overview
Private learning cohorts offer a powerful alternative to both one-size-fits-all programmes and purely individualised development; they combine the efficiency of scale with the relevance of customisation and the power of peer learning. This three-day, mentor-led accelerator equips L&D professionals and learning leaders with a complete methodology to design, launch, and measure private cohorts that deliver genuine business impact.
Through intensive practical workshops and real-world case studies, you will learn to partner with business stakeholders to define clear learning objectives, translate those into a custom agenda that balances flexibility with rigour, and design a training and facilitation plan that maximises engagement and application. You will explore different cohort delivery cadences—from intensive sprints to extended journeys and develop metrics that track not just satisfaction, but behaviour change and business outcomes. Our expert mentors will guide you through each stage of the process, providing templates and frameworks you can adapt immediately.
This programme is assessed through the creation of a complete private cohort plan, including a custom agenda, training approach, delivery cadence, and success metrics for a real organisational need. You will leave with a tangible, ready-to-implement plan and the confidence to run private cohorts that learners love and stakeholders value. Whether you are building your first private cohort or seeking to professionalise an existing approach, this accelerator will transform how you design group learning experiences.
