Accreditation

Belbin Accreditation is an online Train-the-Trainer Course designed for HR, L&D, OD professionals, coaches, consultants, and leaders who want to improve team performance using a behavioral, research-backed model. Upon completion, you’ll be equipped to introduce Belbin Tea​m Roles, interpret reports, guide individuals and teams, and embed Belbin into workshops and coaching engagements.

What You’ll Learn

A deeper understanding of Belbin T​eam Roles, grounded in research and focused on practical use with individuals and teams.

Understand the science behind Belbin — decades of behavioral research conducted at Henley Management College.

  • Why Belbin focuses on behavior, not personality.
  • How the original research shaped the nine T​eam Roles.
  • Where Belbin fits alongside other assessment tools.

Explore each Role in depth, including strengths, risks, and role combinations.

  • Understanding contributions and allowable weaknesses.
  • Role clusters across People, Thinking, and Action strengths.
  • Spotting gaps and over-reliance within a team.

Learn to interpret individual and team reports with confidence and accuracy.

  • Walkthrough of every major page in the reports.
  • How 360° feedback deepens understanding.
  • What a report can and cannot tell you.

Turn Belbin insights into practical steps for workshops, coaching, and team development.

  • Designing 1:1 and team sessions using Belbin reports.
  • Mapping team dynamics, role balance, and blind spots.
  • Using job analysis and strengths alignment to inform how work is assigned.

Why Become Belbin Accredited?

Belbin Accreditation is recommended for anyone who wants to use Belbin Tea​m Roles to improve the performance of teams, and maximize working relationships.

  • Discover the real Belbin: Go beyond the nine T​eam Roles to explore strengths, allowable and non-allowable weaknesses, role combinations, observer feedback, team overviews, and job analysis.
  • Speak the language: Make the language of Te​am Roles second nature so conversations about behavior with individuals and teams become clear and practical.
  • Plan your workshops: Gain practical ideas for using Belbin reports and theory in workshops, coaching sessions, and team feedback conversations.
  • Share your knowledge: Build the depth of understanding you need to confidently handle questions from even the most demanding participants.
  • Ongoing backup: The course culminates in a written test. On passing the test, we keep in touch and guide you through those first few Belbin Reports and team session agendas.
  • Professional recognition: Earn SHRM PDC credits, receive a signed Accreditation certificate, use the Belbin Accredited logo (subject to terms), and access an exclusive Accredited website full of resources, offers, and advice.
