Didactic Certification

All trainers at Capgemini Academy have a didactic certification.

For trainers who are employed by Capgemini it applies that they must have a license from the Capgemini Academy Didactic Certification Board in order to be able to provide training on behalf of the Academy.

For trainers who are not employed by Capgemini, this certification may consist of an external certification provided by an accreditation body. In addition, based on evaluation results and experiences, we also provide them a didactic certification if the conditions are met.

The Capgemini Academy Didactic Certification has 3 levels, namely Licensed, Certified and Expert.

For trainers not employed by Capgemini, there are 2 levels, Approved Certified and Approved Expert.

There are different didactic requirements for these levels. In addition, every trainer is an expert in their own field.

This set of requirements makes that our trainers have a unique combination of knowledge and skills, with which we deliver high and consistent quality.

Before any trainer starts they enroll into a training program on didactics. 

This program entails the following:

In this training you will learn the didactics you need to give a training. We discuss learning styles, learning preferences, learning principles, learning objectives, working methods, interventions and group dynamics. You practice with part of your own training, and you receive feedback.

The structure is as follows:

• week 1: master your didactic principles through self-study & asynchronous interaction with other students. You do this in an online learning platform.
• week 2: 1 half day group training, in which we bring these principles to life and practice.
• week 3: deepening & asynchronous interaction with other students – in an online platform. Prepare to deliver part of your own training.
