When you submit this application, it is automatically mailed to Gary Gagliardi. He may have additional questions about how you plan to use our training materials that he will send you via e-mail.

You don’t need previous experience in professional training to join our program as an Apprentice. Part of its purpose is to help people who are capable of teaching move into professional training. However, if you want a Master or Independent Trainer license, we expect that you have experience in training.

2. What type of training license are you applying for?
    (Select type of license below.)

     Master Trainer License: A Master Trainer must have a current business training customers and want to focus exclusively on teaching classical front-line strategy. Master Trainers work in a specific geographical territory and are responsible for training Apprentice Trainers.

     Independent Trainer License: An Independent Trainer is currently offering training and wants to include our material in his or her offering and may or may not work exclusively offering our material. Independent Trainers may work in a vertical market and are not licensed to train new trainers in our methods.

     Apprentice Trainer License: An Apprentice Trainer is comfortable speaking in front of groups but doesn’t currently make his or her living in training or consulting. Apprentices learn the training business by working under the direction of a Master Trainer.

      Internal Trainer License:  An Internal Trainer is licensed to use our materials for training people only within one specific organization. Internal Trainers are often licensed after one of our Master Trainers has trained people in the organization and it wants to expand or maintain strategic training.
