We start by offering a progressive path of training for professionals who want to apply Belbin Team Roles in a consulting, training or coaching role within teams and working environments of organisations. It is also suitable for those who wish to teach Belbin as part of an educational curriculum through our accreditation process.
Our professional path begins and builds on the global 2-day accreditation theory training as prescribed by BELBIN, to provide the much needed support and mentoring for applying Team Role theory in practice and developing confidence in teaching and facilitating team interventions and learning events which help participants to discuss and reflect on their experience. This is suitable to all who wish to improve teamwork and efficiency in a workplace, or those interested in your own, individual continuous development.

Belbin Team Role Professional Practitioner
Starting off with the accreditation process, the Belbin Professional Practitioner training is a 7 day course, taking place over a period of 4 to 7 months, depending on the clients’ availability. For those who have already completed the 2 day accreditation process, this is an upgrade course giving a deeper understanding of facilitation of change, trends in team performance and people management. It is a level 7 (NFQ) equivalent and is accredited by Belbin International Associates. Please see description of the framework for Belbin Professional Practitioner below.

Consultants and Coaches have also the option to do the Team Performance Coach training where they learn to facilitate 6 month team performance coaching interventions, focusing on individual and team habit changes while following the team as they develop their practice. This training option can also be undertaken by those wishing to train as a coach; however, it will take longer due to the complexity of skill that needs to be taught. Please see framework below:
