Program Details
Next Level Exchange (NLE) continues to offer our highly regarded Facilitated Foundation Training (FFT) to our valued NLE clients. Facilitated Foundation Training (FFT) combines two core components: self-paced online content through Next Level Academy and live, trainer-led classes delivered by experienced search industry trainers, together forming a comprehensive 360-search training program. FFT frees up valuable time for leaders by training their new or experienced recruiters, including those who need a refresher or lack formal training on search fundamentals.
FFT delivers the skills, tools, and vernacular essential for a career in professional search, with content that is equally valuable for those looking to reaffirm existing skills or close specific knowledge gaps. Attendees range from candidate-side recruiters and business development professionals to full 360 search consultants and new search firm owners.
In addition to live classes, participants have access to 35+ hours of professional video content on Next Level Academy (NLA), a 328-page participant workbook with quizzes and an answer key, scripting exercises, collaborative discussion questions, and optional assigned homework. Learning is reinforced through live module recaps, roleplaying, and group discussion. All live sessions are recorded and available for viewing for up to two weeks after course completion.
Time commitment: The total time commitment for FFT-related activities varies by week. Weeks 1, 3, and 5 each entail 6–7 hours of live classroom time. With full participation, such as doing self-paced viewing of foundation training videos and the optional homework, supplemental videos, and Market Mastery Project, time commitment could be 15–20 hours for weeks 1, 3, and 5. Week 2 includes one live class and one live roleplay, with the remainder of the week devoted to active market engagement. Week 4 includes one live roleplay with the remainder of the week devoted to active market engagement.
Webinar length: 60 to 90 minutes; fifteen live classes plus two live roleplay sessions over 5 weeks.
