Trainer's Academy
Do you want to become a great trainer? Or perhaps you are looking to earn the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) credential?
The Trainer Academy program was created for professionals who want to teach others effectively and with confidence. Whether you plan to lead technical training, soft-skills workshops, or expert presentations, you need a solid training foundation.
We know that being an expert doesn't automatically make someone a great trainer. In this program, we will show you how to design training that works - from initial needs analysis and engaging methods to delivering measurable results. We will practice specific group facilitation techniques and give you the space to test and refine your own training style.
The course concludes with the Instructional Skills Certificate, which is a formal requirement for anyone applying for the Microsoft Certified Trainer status.
Gain the training confidence that your participants will appreciate – and a certificate that will open doors for your further career.

Who will be running the sessions?
Alicja Sekret – trainer, ICF-certified neuro-linguistic coach, and expert in training design and learning experience. She runs instructional design trainings for Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) candidates, helping them create engaging, practical, and effective online training for adults. She has spent years working at the intersection of education, technology, and user experience. She is a co-creator of the Pacjenci Pacjentom app, has conducted research and user workshops (including for Krótka Instrukcja o Menopauzie), and as a lecturer at SWPS School of Ideas, she teaches students how to design practical, learner-centered training programs and solutions (PX / learner experience).
For over a decade, she has been supporting leaders, trainers, and teams in building effectiveness, emotional intelligence, and clear communication. She also specializes in designing and delivering VR training, and in preparing speakers for conference presentations — including many years with TEDx, where she also served as Head of the Speakers Team.
Her approach to instructional design brings together strong methodological foundations, academic experience, and a deep understanding of the learner's perspective.
Each of our trainers brings extensive qualifications in people development. But one of the greatest values we offer is an additional layer of real-world expertise that grounds everything we do in practical experience. Read on to find out what Alicja brings to her work with you.
