Regular 1-day sessions that are perfect for those who want tools, resources and the know-how to apply Belbin within their organization.
Belbin Accreditation is recommended for anyone who wants to use Belbin Team Roles to improve the performance of teams, and maximise working relationships.
By attending the Accreditation course, you will discover the real Belbin – and gain the depth of knowledge and practical tools to present yourself as a true Belbin expert.
The course culminates in a 40-minute test. On passing the test, you will be awarded a certificate signed by your trainer and Dr Meredith Belbin, and access to a logo that shows that you are Belbin Accredited. The Accreditation stays with YOU, so it is a real investment in your future.
Once you are Accredited, we won't leave you stranded. You will gain access to an exclusive 'Accredited Only' webpage which contains the slides and resources that you need to start using Belbin with individuals, teams and organisations. We keep in touch and guide you through those first few Belbin Reports and team session agendas.
Other benefits of becoming Belbin Accredited include three free Belbin Reports and a lower price when purchasing the Belbin Reports in the future.
A bit more detail: Why should I become Belbin Accredited?

You will find that there is more to Belbin than just nine Team Roles – strengths, allowable/non-allowable weaknesses of each Role are explored in-depth, along with combinations of Team Roles, observer feedback, team overviews and job analysis.

The language of Team Roles will become second nature to you over the duration of the course, providing a useful basis to discuss possible team and individual issues.
Plan your workshops
We will give you practical ideas on how to use the reports and theory within a variety of workshops and situations, and how to interpret the reports for 1:1 and team feedback.
Share your knowledge
Your newly acquired depth of knowledge and understanding will hold you in good stead when fielding questions from the more demanding course delegate!

Belbin Team Roles is the language of teams, enabling people to project and talk about their behavioural strengths in a safe, non-confrontational and productive way.

Bespoke Belbin Workshop
We facilitate sessions with teams at all levels, from boards of directors to new recruits.
A workshop will increase people's understanding of themselves and their colleagues, helping to resolve conflict in the work environment and focusing the team on achieving its objectives more effectively.
The purpose of a team-building workshop is to increase communication and effectiveness within the team or group so that it achieves its objectives. The team will have a common language and a framework to discuss their collective strengths and how best to use them.
How might a Belbin Workshop help you?
Workshops are designed to help teams increase their effectiveness and plan for the future.
We provide experiential learning that enables the team and its individual members to maximize strengths and contain weaknesses. This improves mutual understanding and enhances communication. It is important to identify each person's contribution and to consider the team’s profile against its short and long-term goals.
Who would benefit from attending a Belbin Workshop?
- An existing team which needs to re-focus for a new challenge or strategy;
- A new team which is not yet a cohesive unit;
- A team in the aftermath of major change/re-organization;
- A problematic team, where conflicts are getting in the way of effectiveness;
- An international project team whose members only meet occasionally;
- A high-performing team which wants to achieve even greater success.
Book a Workshop
Workshops are usually one day. Depending on requirements, we can also run half-day or two-day workshops. These can be followed up with individual and team sessions.
