Certification on the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology

How to become a Certified Facilitator?

To become a certified facilitator who is able to design and apply workshops, trainings, meetings and workshops using the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology requires Certification of new facilitators.

Certification is a program intensive and immersive 4 days with 40 hours of training , which teaches the theoretical fundamentals and science behind the methodology, the Central Process, which is the essence of the method, and also the 7 Application Techniques in practice.

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method and Tool Certification is a program developed by the methodology’s creators – Robert Rasmussen and Per Kristiansen – and is linked to the Master Trainers Association.

This training has been offered since 2001 when the method was created, updated and refined by the ever-evolving Master Trainers Robert Rasmussen and Per Kristiansen.

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method certification program is light, fun, reflective, practical and experiential, promotes deep learning and enables participants to come out with a new way of thinking and acting.

During the training, participants also have the opportunity to design custom workshops and workshops using the method so that when they leave the immersion, they can apply their design either with a client, with their team or with their own organization.

Upon completion of the program, the facilitator will be able to design and facilitate workshops with the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method with different approaches and themes.
