Our International Trainers
'It takes a special kind of person to be a teacher, but it takes an extraordinary person to become an amazing trainer, for training - in the MindChamps sense - is far more than imparting knowledge. It is about how we communicate - how we get others to 'own the knowledge' and make it a part of them. It is about becoming a role-model for a successful life.'
David Chiem & Brian Caswell
At MindChamps as a Trainer, our ultimate duty and our sacred privilege, is to inspire; to breathe into our students the understanding that what each of them possess inside their hearts and minds is a treasure - beauty and power beyond belief.
Only the top 3% - 5% of applicants with extensive educational qualifications and expertise make it!
For any education and training organisation, there are two areas within which there can be no compromise:
The quality of the programs they develop
The quality of the trainers they select to deliver those programs
You would never compromise on your child's future - and at MindChamps neither would we!
It takes a special kind of person to be a teacher, but it takes an extraordinary person to become an amazing trainer; for training - in the MindChamps' sense - is far more than merely imparting knowledge.
Training is about how we communicate - how we empower others to 'own the knowledge' and make it part of them. It is about becoming an inspiring role-model for a successful life.
MindChamps' 9 Stage Selection Process and Training Accreditation
Stage 1
Initial Selection : Once written applications are assessed, a 'long-list' of applicants is prepared, and initial phone-interviews take place.
Stage 2, 3 & 4
Intensive Selection Workshops : Each of these stages (2, 3 & 4) is designed to hone and review the various candidates' interpersonal skills, creativity, mindset, educational philosophy, clarity of English expression and articulation, presentation skills, body language, dynamism and knowledge of pedagogy. From about 200 applicants, usually only 15 pass and move on to Stage 5.
Stage 5
Personal Interview : Applicants who make it through to the first 4 stages must then attend a wide-ranging personal interview with MindChamps' Group CEO and Head of Training. By now, usually only 6 make it through to Stages 6 & 7.
Stage 6 & 7
Intensive Training & Practicum : Now, all remaining candidates are required to train in MindChamps' cutting-edge strategies and techniques. This training takes the form of practical instruction, scientific background and creativity exercises, as well as our unique, child-centred pedagogy. This ensures that the standard of all MindChamps' instruction internationally can be guaranteed.
Stage 8
Accreditation : Only upon the successful completion of this unique and testing training program, is a trainer accredited to train your child in any MindChamps' program.
Stage 9
Further Training & Upgrades : And it does not end here; trainers are constantly being assessed and given ongoing training and upgrades, as our research department develops new insights into the Learning Mind. All trainers, come together for monthly upgraded trainings, and an annual conference, to share ideas and investigate the latest developments in brain science, psychology and educational practice. This process is an essential part of the MindChamps' philosophy, for we truly believe that:
When we stop learning, we stop teaching.
The results speak for themselves.
"My experience in MindChamps allowed me the opportunities to be inspired and to inspire. It has given me a greater depth of understanding that teaching is not about putting knowledge in, it is about drawing knowledge out. Learning goes hand in hand with understanding and empowering it ourselves.
Whatever we choose to learn, the learning flows when we are at our highest self. Every day, every moment I am called to BE my highest self. I am grateful to everyone at MindChamps for allowing me to be me. For accepting nothing less than who I can be. For every moment, we are two persons; who we are and who we are becoming."
Celine Chew (Director
of Schools, Program Development )
"Through my training with MindChamps, I have gained increased awareness of my strengths and weaknesses and a greater confidence in my abilities as a communicator and trainer. My understanding of the world in which I live and the students who come under my care has developed in positive and dramatic ways.
On a professional level, my ability to communicate to a group of individuals and express myself clearly and with great clarity has increased ten-fold."
Beata Alfoldi (Trainer, Australia )
