Train the Trainer Sessions

Ready for Equity! seminars are delivered by highly experienced trainers who are actively involved in the informal investment market.

Business Angel network managers, private investors, SME coaches and mentors involved in fundraising for SME’s can qualify to deliver the RfE! training programme to Europe’s Business Angel and Entrepreneur communities. The Ready for Equity! Academy ™ is always looking for skilled and experienced trainers to deliver our sessions for Busines Angels and Entrepeneurs.

The certification of trainers will be subject to the successful completion of a train the trainers module. This module will be offered to potential trainers that can demonstrate their expertise in the informal investment market.

During the module we will go through most of the training sessions and trainer handbooks and specifically focus on the interactive approach and other pedagogic issues that have proven to be very successful in delivering seminars to our target group. The module will end with a short training assignment upon which the certification will be awarded.
