Graphic Facilitation Training
You’ve prepared the agenda. You start the meeting. You’re doing all the talking. And halfway through, you notice it – people checking emails, eyes glazing over, energy draining from the room.
Sound familiar?
There’s a different way to facilitate. It’s called graphic facilitation (or visual facilitation), and it transforms how groups think, engage, and create together. Instead of talking at people, you work visually with them – using simple drawings, templates, and techniques that make ideas visible and get everyone participating.
This isn’t about becoming an artist. It’s about adding visual tools to your existing facilitation skills. Tools that make your sessions more memorable, more inclusive, and honestly, more fun for you to run.
Our online graphic facilitation training gives you practical techniques you can use immediately in your meetings, workshops, and training sessions. By the end of the 12-week course, you’ll have a complete toolkit of visual methods – and you’ll have already tried most of them in real situations.
Your trainer, Cara Holland, has been a visual facilitator for over 20 years, working with organisations from IBM to IKEA to Sony Playstation. She’s seen what works in the room and in Zoom (and what doesn’t), and she’s put 20 years of practical experience into this course.
You’ll learn by doing from weekly online lessons with the bonus of Cara personally reviewing your practical coursework and giving you feedback in a supportive online class of no more than 20 people. It’s the closest thing to an apprenticeship you’ll find online.
Registration officially closed on 15th September 2026.
We still have a few places left, so if you want to train online with individual tutor feedback from Cara Holland, this is your final chance… We’re changing our course offer in 2027!
This graphic facilitator course is for you if…
you facilitate meetings, workshops, or training sessions
you’re a trainer, consultant, project manager, or team leader who runs group sessions
you want practical tools to make your sessions more interactive and memorable
you want an engaging alternative to AI generated props for meetings
You don’t need: To be artistic. To change how you facilitate entirely. Just add visual tools to what you already do well.
As a facilitator are you struggling with any of these challenges?
You see bored participants distracted by other work in your meetings, training or workshops?
You want some fresh ideas about how to engage people in your sessions?
You have difficulty getting people to focus and retain the core messages or lessons in a meeting or training session?
You are frustrated trying to manage participants and capture discussions at the same time?
You feel like you, not the participants, are doing all the work in a meeting?
You come out exhausted after a facilitation session, knowing you still have all that work to do afterwards, to put those outputs into a presentable format!

What people say about our graphic facilitator training
"This course is jam packed with practical, non-nonsense tips from a seasoned professional, that can be applied immediately. Cara's teaching brought about a great transformational shift in both my thinking and skills. I really enjoyed taking this course!"
"The course was fantastic! Having more than 15 years of facilitation experience, I felt I just acquired a brilliant new toolset that will take my job to a completely different level. The lessons were engaging and challenging, and your feedback on my work really made a difference on how I see things now. I loved the idea of sharing my work with a small group, it created a safe and trusted environment where I could also learn from my classmates, their experience and their homework. This was definitely a great use of my time and my money :-)”
