In this course, you will acquire foundational knowledge about the principles of learning and knowledge transmission. You will learn how learning functions from a psychological perspective, which theories underpin these processes, and how they can be applied to digital educational settings. You will also explore how learning processes can be designed through purposeful planning and clearly defined learning objectives.

In addition, you will be introduced to methods of knowledge transmission that you can adapt according to your goals and the given context in order to actively engage learners and support sustainable knowledge acquisition. By the end of the course, you will be able to develop didactic concepts and plan your teaching sessions effectively.

Note on the recommended age:
It is generally recommended to complete the trainer program from the age of 16. However, it is up to you to assess your individual suitability for the trainer program and your willingness to engage with the course content independently — regardless of this age recommendation. The course content is partly written in academic language and contains technical terms that require an appropriate level of abstraction and language comprehension.

After successfully passing the final task, all graduates receive a personalized trainer certificate. This trainer certificate qualifies you, among other things, to independently conduct DLC learning offerings from the age of 18.
