Next Cohort - September 2020

Increasing your learner’s engagement and retention through LEGO® activities

ONLY 10 Spaces available

Using LEGO® in learning has become very popular recently… in fact there are whole communities based around the concept.  But how do you know it’s right for you and your learners / clients? Which type of Lego® activity should you use? And will you be taken seriously as a Trainer, Facilitator or Coach if you suggest such a thing?

‘Learning with LEGO® INTERACTIVE programme is right for you if…

  • You want to use LEGO® in your training, facilitation and/or coaching
  • You are looking for ideas and inspiration on which LEGO® activities to use and why
  • You like the idea of LEGO® Serious Play® and want an introduction
  • You want to interact with like-minded people to share your learning

How does the course works?

  • In this interactive online course, you’ll be signing up to a cohort, which means we’ll all be starting the course on a set date. 
  • Prior to the course starting, you’ll be sent a Learning with LEGO® starter set through the post.  (I love this set - I've hand picked it just for this programme.)
  • There are 4 LIVE online modules over 4 weeks (with two dates and time per module to choose from, so you have flexibility in when you attend.)
  • During each 1.5hour module, we’ll get together live to unwrap our relevant activity and explore different ways to use them with your learners 
  • After each module has completed, you’ll also have access to related pre-recorded video explanations and PDFs (That's 30 Videos and 12 PDFs!) so you can refer back to them anytime you want

What others have to say...

“Attended a fantastic session this morning on creative training ideas with the inspiring Nikie Forster of Curious Lighthouse. Sessions like these rekindle my love of teaching and remind me why I do it! Nikie can make any topic fun, thought-provoking and effective, at any level of a corporation. Invest in your people and get her involved!”

Sara Ellul - Business Lecturer

“I can’t thank Nikie enough for all of her support and help in moulding me into the professional trainer I am today and would highly recommend having a chat with Nikie and enrolling on some of the courses.”

Suk Gill ~ Director of The Sales Coach Ltd. ​

“I first came across Nikie through her quirky and different posts which I’m always compelled to look at further and find myself drawn to. We talked and I described the kind of creative experiments we’re keen to encourage in my team and asked her to share all her secrets! She created a great day packed full of ideas, taught my team how dopamine makes the difference in learning and we left with a shopping list and inspired and reassured that what we were already doing was value add coupled with some ideas to make them even better. From before the day to after she demonstrated how creativity engages and lands learning.”

Natalie Rogers - Head of Talent, Learning & Development at Greencore
