A Proven 16-Step Activity Facilitation ProcessFor turning Boring Learning Activities into More Engagement and Retention, You’ll Truly Become An Activity Facilitation Expert...
(…and you’ll know when and HOW to do this for any activity)
Unfortunately, most trainers just don’t get it!
When it comes to facilitating activities, they either don’t do activities at all…
…ONLY facilitate them when they see disengaged participants…
…or only facilitate activities when people tell them they’re supposed to do an activity.
That type of“I hope this sticks”activity facilitation just won’t cut it anymore!
Not only is it not improving engagement, it’s almost certainly costing you money!
If you actually want to facilitate interactive and fun activities that make learning sticky, engaging, and applicable, then you need to do more.
You need a PROVEN process in place to tell you exactly how (and when) to facilitate activities!
But how do you create a “process” that systematically converts boring training into engaging activities and turns engaging activities into saving training time and money…
…one that will work for any activity, any learner, any curriculum?
FACT: BusinessesNeedActivity Facilitation Experts
(…Who Actually Know What They’re Doing)
All businesses need a way to train their employees togenerate more learning in less time.
They need a proven and repeatable process to identify exactly where they should focus their training efforts to truly “move the needle” in their business.
I’m not going to sell you on the importance of interactive learning and facilitating activities.
If you’re here, you know how important even the slightest increase in employee engagement can mean to a business.
In other words, you know thatincreasing your engagement rate means more production and more retention, all from the training that you’re already giving.
So that’s why businesses need Activity Facilitation Experts.
There’s just one problem:Most so-called “activity experts” don’t know what they’re doing…
That’s where YOU come in.
As an Classroom Activity Facilitation Specialist, you are uniquely qualified to help trainers facilitate their existing activities in an even more engaging and exciting way.
More specifically, in this master class, you’ll learn:
Thecritical tools that get buy-in for any activity(and two of these are rarely ever done)…
Thekey prerequisites that actually increase credibility and rapport(get these wrong and you’ll waste your time and money on useless activities)…
The3 crucial factors for checking to see which participants “got it”(we’ll show you when and how to use them)…
How touse Case Studies to work the room(and which style works the best)…
Ourproven formula for developing rock solid assessments(this will give valuable insights regardless of your activity’s outcome)…

In short, Classroom Activity Facilitation Specialists (a.k.a. “Activity Masters”) are able to not only make training more fun and engaging… they have a proven and repeatable process to increase retention and save time and money with the activities they’re already facilitating!
If you’re interested in becoming such an “Activity Master,” then I have one question for you…
Are You A “Doer”…or Just a “Talker”
(or…why You Might Want To Take This Course)
Let’s face it: Training experts are a dime a dozen.
So how do you separate those who “walk the talk” from the ones who merely…
…talk?
That’s the problem!
And at Rule the Room, it was our problem, too.
You see, we don’t just teach training best practices, we actually MODEL everything we teach…
In other words:WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF…
… we actually are trainers, just like you.
… we created this program from scratch after watching THOUSANDS of trainers, just like you.
… we train trainers, just like you.
…and here’s the difference…
You get to see us actually MODEL for you how to train by TRAINING YOU OURSELVES …
…so you’ll know right away (you’ll FEEL right away), what we’re doing…
And we know how hard it is to find truly skilled people who know what they’re talking about.
That’s why we built this class… to train our own team members.
But in the spirit of “open sourcing” our business (which is what Rule the Room is all about) we’re now making this training available to the world.
In short, we’re making it available to YOU…

Activity Facilitation Mastery Course Reviews
“I was impressed by the number of methods I could use to actively improve learning in a non-lecture setting. During activities, I will definitely be benchmarking students earlier and adding more enrichment exercises.”
Craig Thompson -- Corporate Trainer
“It’s so simple and never taught. College teaches all the wacked out, in depth theory and pedagogy without giving presenters the simple steps of what to do, that’s the brilliance of these classes. A lot of us know the why, now we get to know the how. The theory that you teach is practical and effective. Learning through college teaches a lot of high level information and assumes the basics (or the basics are not thought to be needed because college is taught by experts not by teachers). These classes give those basics that, though many of them may be getting done, they are brought to consciousness to do them effectively, consistently, and across all areas.”
Chris Chalhoub - Healthcare Software Trainer
“I’m on site with the CTs and they just finished watching your video on how to train. I introduced myself and opened the floor for some questions. The only question I received was “Do you work with Jason? He’s so good! Just wanted to pass along the positive note.”
Brittany Crosby -- Training and Implementation Services

Rule The Room Train The Trainer Is Different
Sure, you can probably find other “train-the-trainer” trainings and certifications that cover similar topics, but a Rule the Room Train-the-Trainer course is unique because it’s built and taught by real trainers who actually write and train their own classes and observe, coach and train thousands of trainers to mastery.
In other words, we aren’t “researchers” sharing “theoretical fluff”. We’re in-the-trenches trainers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn training techniques is to actually get up and teach in front of a real classroom. If that sounds like something that fits you, then welcome! You’re in the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: “How will this Activity Facilitation Mastery Class help me?”
A: It depends on who you are…..
If you’re a business owner, this course is a great way to learn activity facilitation techniques yourself. It’s also a great way to train and certify members of your own team and get them up to speed in half the time on the latest activity training techniques, trends and best practices.
If you’re a consultant, this course is a practical way to show that you are an Activity Facilitation Specialist, which could help you attract better, higher-paying clients, boost their ROI and efficiency, and lower turnover, safety and security concerns.
If you’re a student, this class can set you apart from other graduates who may have a business or education degree, but don’t have the specialized skills that employers today are looking for.
If you’re an employee or training professional, this course can make you more valuable to your company, which can get you that raise or promotion you may deserve (but don’t have a reason to request).
Q: “How valuable is this Activity Facilitation Course?”
A: The course itself is highly valuable if your goal is to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s even MORE valuable than any course is the knowledge and understanding you’re going to gain when you take this class and pass all the tests. You will know master activity facilitation. I’ll say that again: YOU WILL KNOW ACTIVITY FACILITATION.
Q: “When do I have to finish the class?”
A: You can go at whatever pace suits you best! You’ve got a lot of other things going on in your life, so just because you enroll in the workshop doesn’t mean you need to complete it right away. In fact, you can start and finish the workshop whenever you want. Either way, we’re going to be there with you every step of the way to ensure you’re successful.
Q: “How soon can I finish the class”
A: The Activity Facilitation Mastery class is 4.5 hours of video training, so if you are dedicating yourself full time to it, you could probably finish in one day, but we don’t recommend that. Instead, we recommend you take 2 – 5 days (if you can give your full attention to the material. If you only have a little bit of time each day, then you should dedicated 7 – 14 days to finish it up and do the activities.
Q: “How certain can I be that I will finish?”
A: It’s never a guarantee. If it was, then our course wouldn’t mean anything. Instead, it does mean something, and because of that, you’re going to have to work at this thing to get finished. When you do finish, you can be certain that it will actually mean something. The class and the activities are both going to challenge you, but rest assured we make everything simple, easy to understand, and quick to learn.
Q: How hard is the class?
A: You can liken our class to the story of “goldilocks and the three bears” – not too hot and not too cold. In other words, they’re hard enough that you need to study and know your stuff, but we don’t make them intentionally hard just to be difficult. We make them as hard as they need to be to make sure you know how to “Rule the Room”. We believe learning doesn’t happen until a behavior change occurs, so to preserve the integrity of this course, we have made the class challenging and the activities specific to our proprietary Rule the Room Train the Trainer techniques, methodologies and recipes. Don’t expect to pass the course just because you have taken other trainings or certification courses in the past. This training is different, and the class will reflect those differences.
Q: Why are Activity Facilitators so important?
A: A master at activity facilitation so they can make your learning activities fun, engaging, sticky, and applicable is one of the learning team’s most valuable assets. A set of master activity facilitation techniques at scale can pay for itself immediately with employee growth and retention and these skills can make you truly irreplaceable.
