What sets our trainings apart

LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Training Features

Depending on which course you choose, you’ll enjoy some or all of the following….

Practice-Based Learning

Practice Based Learning

You’ll get hands-on, practice-based learning, ensuring you gain real world experience in facilitating LEGO® Serious Play® workshops. With small class sizes (maximum of 8 participants), we ensure personalised attention and active participation. But above all you will learn to facilitate by being the facilitator!

Live Practice Workshop

Live Practice Workshop

The highlight moment of practice-based learning is on the afternoon of day 2, you’ll run your first 2 hour workshop. You’ll take a group of people you have not met through a ‘Introduction to LEGO® Serious Play®’ This will give you a terrific confidence boost, and you’ll leave your class having already run your first workshop. Boom!

Comprehensive Training Materials

Comprehensive Training Materials

You will receive extensive resources, including a paper copy of “Mastering the LEGO® Serious Play® Method,” and digital copies of our other three books, “How to Facilitate the LEGO® Serious Play®  Method Online”​, and “Building Better Learning”. You’ll also get Window Exploration kit of LEGO® bricks and our course handout.

Plus a Key Module on Planning & Prep

Planning Skills to Use in Non-LEGO® Serious Play® Meetings

We consider one of the highlights of this class is when you plan your first workshop and we use this module to teach you a set of planning skills that you can apply after class to any kind of meeting or workshop – including those that won’t benefit or should not use LEGO® Serious Play®. Many graduates have a real lightbulb moment in this training highlight.

Case Studies Included

See how it works in real life

This class includes case studies of how we have facilitated LEGO® Serious Play® with our clients.
