The facilitators who deliver the best results aren't winging it. They're certified. Octearn Academy gives you the methodology, the credentials, and the network to run simulation-based programmes that produce measurable commercial readiness.
The simulation is the engine. You are the driver. Without trained facilitation, participants get an experience. With it, they get a transformation. Certification is the difference between running a session and delivering an outcome.
L&D teams and universities want certified facilitators. Your credential tells them you've been trained, assessed, and validated.
Certified facilitators produce consistently higher readiness scores. Better debriefs. Sharper interventions. Measurable difference.
Access a global community of certified facilitators. Share scenarios, co-deliver programs, and get referrals from Octearn's pipeline.
Certified facilitators command premium rates. The credential + readiness data gives you evidence to justify your fee — not just your reputation.
Each tier unlocks new scenarios, advanced features, and facilitator-only resources. Your skills compound with every session you deliver.
Certified facilitators appear on Octearn's public directory. Organisations searching for simulation facilitators find you directly.
Every tier is built on demonstrated competence — sessions delivered, scores achieved, and skills validated. No shortcuts.
You can set up, run, and debrief a standard DMCP session. You understand the simulation engine, the scoring model, and how to guide participants through the experience.
You can design multi-session programmes, customise scenarios for specific industries, and produce cohort-level analytics that satisfy institutional reporting requirements.
You train other facilitators. You design new sector configurations and market events. You are a recognised authority in simulation-based commercial learning.
Submit your application. Once accepted, you get access to the Foundation training programme and your first DMCP license.
Complete the self-paced Foundation programme. Master the simulation engine, scoring model, event injection, and debrief methodology.
Run 3 live sessions with real participants. A certified mentor observes and provides feedback on your facilitation quality.
Complete the scenario-based facilitator assessment. Demonstrate your ability to handle disruptions, debrief effectively, and drive readiness scores.
Receive your credential, appear on the facilitator directory, and start delivering certified programmes independently.
As you deliver more sessions, build your portfolio, and deepen your expertise — unlock Pro and eventually Strategic level status.
The certification isn't a box-ticking exercise. Every module builds a specific facilitation competence.
Sector configs, pressure programmes, KPI mechanics, budget levers, and how the 7x7 matrix creates unique environments.
When to inject market events, how to control the clock, and how pacing changes the quality of participant decisions.
The 4-axis readiness model (Decision Quality, Adaptability, Rationale, Speed), how scores are calculated, and how to interpret them for debrief.
Structured debrief frameworks. How to surface learning from the data, connect it to real-world decisions, and make the experience stick.
How to use observation mode during live sessions, when to intervene, and when to let the simulation teach the lesson.
Building multi-session programmes that map to learning outcomes. Aligning DMCP sessions to university curricula, L&D objectives, or CPD frameworks.
Add a certified simulation tool to your practice. Differentiate from every other facilitator delivering slides and role plays.
Deliver experiential learning that maps to programme outcomes. Give students a credential employers recognise.
Run simulation-based development programmes in-house. Measure the impact of your training with hard data.
Deliver co-branded industry certifications. Use DMCP as the assessment engine for your CPD programmes.
Most facilitators complete Foundation in 4-8 weeks. The self-paced training takes 8-10 hours. Then you deliver 3 supervised sessions (at your own pace) and complete the assessment. There is no hard deadline.
Foundation Level is free with every DMCP subscription ($199/mo). Pro Level requires a live workshop — pricing varies by region. Strategic Level is invitation-only with no additional fee.
Not necessarily. We accept applications from anyone who facilitates group learning — facilitators, lecturers, L&D professionals, coaches, and programme managers. What matters is your ability to guide people through experiential learning.
Low scores aren't a failure — they're data. Your mentor will debrief the session with you and help you identify what to adjust. You can deliver additional supervised sessions until you meet the threshold. The goal is competence, not perfection.
DMCP Facilitator Certification is an Octearn credential. We are actively pursuing CPD accreditation with professional bodies. For universities, our after-action reports are designed to map to AACSB, ACBSP and EQUIS programme learning outcomes.
