Program Details and Benefits –

Live training without the travel: FFT is 100% distance-based, saving time and money for travel. Trainers are live on Zoom guiding students throughout the process. We encourage students to join with their webcams as well. All live sessions are recorded and available for viewing up to two weeks after course completion.

What is the time commitment? During this five-week program, students will independently watch over 30 hours of training content on www.nl-academy.com. They will also attend fourteen live webinars totaling 17 hours of LIVE classroom training. Owners/Practice Leaders who have their students take advantage of assigned scripting homework should allow them additional time each week to complete and turn in work to you for review.

Please note that week one of training requires a minimum time commitment of 15 hours. Ideally allow for 30 hours; the additional time considers pausing videos to take notes, homework, additional optional videos and if you elect for them to do the “Market Mastery Project.” Week two is approximately a 12 hour time commitment and weeks three through five are approximately 8 hours of total time per week. Owners opting for coaching calls should plan on two or four 15 minute calls (during the five weeks) with the Trainer to discuss their student.

Multiple learning methods: Tenured NLE Trainers strengthen the learning process through live module recaps. This includes roleplaying, scripting exercises, facilitating group discussion and participation, and performance management (PAR/ KPIs/ metrics) while teaching and reinforcing the principles of professional search.

Participants: FFT is full 360 professional search training. Students vary from recruiters without search experience to experienced search consultants with years of experience. FFT comprises students focusing on the candidate side, full 360 search consultants, business development professionals, recruiting trainers, and search firm owners.

Webinar length:  The live Zoom sessions are 60 or up to 90 minutes; fourteen live webinars on in total.
