We hear you!
Your fears are hardly surprising – so many online workshops fail to get the results you’ve seen at in-person sessions. But the reason they fail is simply because most facilitators haven’t been trained how to design and run workshops for an online setting. Often they haven’t received any facilitation training at all.
Facilitating Workshops Online
is a step-by-step course that will give you the tools, techniques and confidence to be a brilliant facilitator. We’ll show you how to run online workshops that are inspiring, productive and fun.
You’ll learn how to plan your online workshop to meet its specific goals, lots of exercises to get your group collaborating and connecting as a team, and what to do when things go wrong. After the course you’ll be able to design and run online workshops that get you even better results than in-person sessions.
How can we be so sure? Because we’ve designed and run countless remote workshops that have helped our clients create real change, and we’ve trained hundreds of facilitators to do the same. Like them, you’ll be able to look forward to your workshops feeling confident and in control, ready to lead your group to achieve great things.

Meet your trainer, Lizzie Shupak
I’m Lizzie, CEO of dynamic creative-leadership company, Curve. I help teams to come up with great ideas and solve problems through the power of workshops. I've spent more than ten years training facilitators and facilitating both in-person and online workshops, for clients as diverse as Coca Cola, AstraZeneca, Bang & Olufsen, Comic Relief and United Nations University. I love passing on my knowledge through training, and I’m excited to bring together the skills and experience I’ve gained from real-life situations, and share them with you through this course.
What do other people say about Curve facilitation courses?
Engaging and super useful
The course was very useful to me, especially because I haven't formally played the role of facilitator before. The graphics are great and very engaging, the tell me more ice breaker will be super useful for my event, and the lesson summaries are awesome - particularly because I can save as PDF and refer back to it if I need a refresher.
The quiz portion is also helpful to check back for understanding and there was loads of content that I'll be able to apply. Thank you so much.
A great resource for our people
Overall, we like it a lot – the combination of introducing a topic, reflecting and summarizing, combined with materials, quizzes and reflection questions and great energizing music as well. We think it will be a great resource for our people.
Many additional resources
I felt excited and ready to take action; there were so many ideas we explored which inspired me to make my workshops different. The team at Curve shared their Remote Workshop Planning Canvas that proved to be super-useful in preparing my remote workshop, and many additional resources such as ideas for various energizers and ice-breakers. I was able to put my newly gained knowledge into practice just recently and the feedback from my remote workshop participants was very encouraging; they reported having gained meaningful insights in an engaging and interesting way.
A must for all virtual facilitators!
Brilliant learnings and takeaways and so well executed! A must for all virtual facilitators!
I can’t recommend it enough
