Team working:Belbin Team Role Accreditation
Become a Belbin Accredited Consultant
The purpose of this course is to inform and educate participants about the Belbin Theory and the various team roles. It is aimed at all professionals, internal or external, who use or are planning to use the theory within their organisations.
It provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to use the latest Belbin methodology to bring about tangible improvements in individual, teamwork and organisation performance.
To ensure each participant receives a high level of personal attention and is able to access the vast experience of the facilitators the course is limited to twelve delegates.
As a result, over 80% of participants attending this training course receive the Belbin Certificate of Accreditation signed by Dr Meredith Belbin.
This 2.5-day course will fully brief you in the Belbin Team Role theory and help you learn:
- How teams succeed and fail, using the Belbin Team Role model as a framework for analysis
- How the 9 Belbin team role behaviour types co-relate

- How to diagnose a team's needs
- understand the needs of the team you are working with

A major benefit of the common language provided by the Belbin Team roles is the shared understanding it gives to team members and the process it offers for developing action plans for improved team performance.

"In all my years working in HR I had heard of Belbin a few times but had not bothered to find out more. Both Barrie and yourself delivered what I can only describe as one of the most participative and enjoyable courses I have ever been on. I truly believe that you have turned me into a Belbin Disciple and I look forward to doing some tests with the management team. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Jim Dolan - Human Resources Director (March 08' Workshop Accreditation)"
