We are excited to announce that the first iteration of the Transition Facilitators Training is ready to launch.

## What is it?

Transition Facilitators Training is a **free, guided online course designed for existing and aspiring Transition Trainers**. It will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to facilitate transformational learning journeys based on the unique approach to change-making developed by the international Transition Towns Movement.

By the end you will be in a position to **offer Trainsition Training in your location**. This will strenghten your local movements, lead to greater impact, and enable you to make Transition a more integral part of your professional life. It is also an essential foundation for further offerings that are making in future.
