“It was a very good course, in which I gained a number of valuable new insights and practical tools. Christy is a professional, friendly trainer who listened well and made sure the material matched who I am, so that I really got something out of it. The day flew by.”

C. Berndsen - Ceva Logistics Nederlands10.0

“Every day I reap the benefits of the knowledge I gained.”

E. Stultiens
Waterleiding Maatschappij Limburg (WML)10.0

"I experienced the Delegating course at Learnit as very positive. A major plus in my view is that the course was given to a small group of participants, which meant there was plenty of room to go into each participant's own cases from their working practice. The trainer prepared the course in a positive way, inspired the group and taught me an approach that is practical to apply. I am very satisfied with the communication with Learnit and the information I received from Learnit."

“Practical course that ties in well with day-to-day work. The course was held in a small group, so interaction was maximised.”

R. Slotemaker
PWN Waterleidingbedrijf9.2

“This course is very suitable for anyone who wants to work on their leadership skills, with extra attention to learning how to delegate tasks within a team. As a group we were able to learn a great deal about the theories, but also about how to apply them in daily practice. Highly recommended!”

R. Vijftigschild - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam9.0

“Pleasant trainer with a great deal of knowledge, clear and with an open teaching style. I was given plenty of tools that I can use in my work.”

Frequently asked questions about Delegating in-company

Where does the in-company course Delegating take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Delegating in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1250,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

Who is the Delegating course suitable for?

The Delegating course is suitable for team leaders, managers and professionals who find it difficult to hand over tasks or who want to spend more time on their core duties. The course is also a good fit if you want to make use of new development opportunities for your staff or give yourself more freedom of movement. You work in a group of no more than eight participants, so there is room for personal guidance.

Which topics are covered in the Delegating course?

In the Delegating course you cover four core themes: the art of delegating (including advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls), delegating and monitoring (which task goes to which colleague), fundamental conversation techniques and creating engagement. You learn to share responsibility, assign authority, set boundaries, direct, coach and follow up on agreements made. The course is taught in a classroom setting in a small group.

How is the Delegating course taught and how large are the groups?

The Delegating course is taught in a classroom setting, with a maximum group size of eight participants. This small group means you receive plenty of personal attention and room to practise new skills. An intake takes place beforehand, in which the trainer discusses your learning objectives and tailors the programme accordingly. In this way the course matches your situation and role.

What results does the Delegating course deliver?

After the Delegating course you know how to define expectations clearly and find the right balance between control and trust. You recognise where new development opportunities lie for colleagues, can instruct assertively and specifically, and keep a grip on the process without doing the work yourself. In this way you create more engaged staff and free up time for your core tasks.

Can the Delegating course also be taken in-company?

Yes, the Delegating course is also available as an in-company course. The programme is then tailored to the practical situation within your organisation and the learning objectives of the team. An intake with the trainer takes place beforehand, so that topics such as task distribution, conversation techniques and engagement match your context. The classroom-based set-up of remains the starting point.

When should you choose a Delegation course rather than reading a book or taking an online course?

A book or e-learning works perfectly well if you want to understand the theory: what delegating is, which pitfalls there are and which conversation structures you can use. A classroom course is useful when the problem does not lie in knowledge, but in behaviour. Many managers know they should let go, but fail to do so in practice. During the course you actually practise instructing, handing over responsibility and holding progress and feedback conversations, with direct feedback from a trainer and a maximum of eight participants. You gain a clear view of your own patterns and pitfalls, something self-study cannot offer. So choose the course if you notice that you keep holding on to tasks, want to break micromanagement habits or find it difficult to set clear expectations. For pure theory a book will do; for changing behaviour it will not.

How do I know whether the Delegating course suits my situation, and when is it still too early to attend?

The Delegating course suits you if you have a management or coordinating role in which you structurally do too much yourself. Concrete signs: you regularly work overtime because you do not let go of tasks, your staff are not growing as quickly as you would like, or you do not get round to your core strategic tasks. The course is classroom-based with a maximum of eight participants. You work on task selection, conversation techniques, setting clear expectations and the balance between control and trust. It is too early if you are not yet managing a team or staff to whom you can hand over tasks, or if your formal role does not yet allow you to delegate responsibility. In that case, a course in basic management skills or self-management is a better fit.

What is the difference between Learnit's Delegating course and a general leadership course?

A general leadership course usually treats delegating as one element alongside vision, motivation and feedback. Learnit's Delegating course focuses entirely on that single theme: which tasks you hand over, to whom, how you give instructions and how you keep control and trust in balance. You work through four blocks: the art of delegating, delegating and monitoring, conversation techniques and creating engagement. The group has a maximum of eight participants and the trainer tailors the programme through an intake. Choose a broader leadership course if you also want to practise coaching, developing a vision or team development. Choose this course if you are specifically getting stuck on letting go of tasks and want to learn specific conversation techniques and criteria for doing so.
