Following your successful completion of the licensing course, you will be licensed to deliver the Navigator men's development programme within your country of residence for 3 years. The licence is renewable at the end of the 3 years.

Only trainers trained and currently licensed by us are able to call themselves Navigator trainers and use the Navigator logo.

Self-nomination
Because the Navigator programme enables men to develop themselves, (as opposed to training in a skill or technique) participants have to make the decision to participate themselves or be willing to be encouraged by others.

Wholistic
A big theme is work/life balance and the programme encourages participants to develop themselves outside as well as inside work.

No magic answers
The trainer doesn't tell a participant what to do with their lives. The role of the trainer is to enable participants to explore options and support them in making their own choices.

Confidentiality
Participants need to feel free to raise any issues in or outside work in the knowledge that confidences will not be repeated outside the course room and that information on individuals will not be fed back to the employer (other than an attendance record).

Demonstrate equality - maximum access
The Navigator programme was developed to ensure the greatest number of men could have access to good quality development training. The practical implications of this affect your choice of venue, your pricing policy, your presentation of the programme, your use of language and much more.

Take action - small steps
Thinking and good intentions are turned into action. The emphasis is on taking small, practical steps forward.

It's their programme
The programme is delivered for the participants and their issues and challenges, using their examples, their vocabulary and recognising the reality of their lives.

Build people up and stretch them
Everything is positive in Navigator. You need to want to build people up and then to stretch them so they often achieve more than they expected or believed possible.

Networking
Participants get an enormous amount from each other. You will need to facilitate this aspect. Small support groups often continue to meet after the programme.

Role models - lead by example
Including lots of examples and providing good case studies of men who have been successful in their lives, or who have risen to deal with huge challenges, keeps the programme relevant and down-to-earth. You will also be seen as a role model so think about aspects of your life which will inspire or be relevant to your participants.

Look at the selection criteria above, download the application form at the bottom of this page, complete it and send it back to us.

We will then contact you to arrange an interview. In countries outside the UK, this will be a telephone interview. Your interview will be followed by a quick decision.
