"I kicked off my career as a freelance trainer, and every trainer on our team is also a freelancer. So, you could say I get the freelancer life inside out—the rough patches, the challenges, but also the big dreams, the rewards, and all those massive opportunities I see a lot of freelancers are still missing out on."

How can becoming a SkillsGym certified trainer change your life and career?
You're investing in a future-proof career
More than 60% of companies plan to increase their L&D spending, and more than 66% of organizations will increase the number of formal learning hours. Senior executives report that their companies are not developing skills fast enough or leaders deep enough. (Prof. Dr. Nick Van Dam, corporate learning & leadership development and Global Chief Learning Office at McKinsey & Company)
So effective trainers will continue to be in high demand, but only if they can offer hybrid training programs, considering that 73% of managers want their digital experiences to be more adaptive (ie. customized), 60% want the experience to be more social and collaborative, and 55% want more experiential learning included. (Josh Bershin, Global Industry Analyst)
You'll be taking a share of a $15 billion market by becoming a high-level trainer
The growth in corporate training expenditure in recent years reflects the recognition of the value and importance of investing in employee development. The corporate soft skills training industry in the US alone is expected to reach US$ 47.16 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.3% during 2022-2027. With employers spending an average of $1,270 per worker's training, it indicates that budget allocation for soft skills training is not a major constraint.
Position yourself as a leadership trainer or executive coach
Positioning yourself as a freelance trainer, particularly in the domain of leadership development, is a strategic and lucrative decision. Leadership is recognized as a critical, make-or-break factor in an organization's success. Consequently, companies are increasingly prioritizing and investing in leadership development programs. It's our experience that clients allocate a more significant portion of their training budget to developing their leaders than to all other soft skills training for their employees combined.
To underscore the significance of this investment, consider that every year, global organizations spend more than $60 billion on leadership development programs. This immense investment highlights the value placed on effective leadership and the substantial market opportunity for freelance trainers specializing in this area.
You can stop freelancing and start working for clients directly
Why wouldn't you want to work directly for clients and make at least four times what you would make working as a freelancer for other training organizations?! We provide our trainers with step-by-step strategies and marketing and sales tools to support them. With just a half-day-per-week investment in doing marketing and sales activities, you can build your business quickly and earn anywhere between $10,000 - $40,000 a month by delivering an average of 10 training activities.
Comprehensive support
With $800,000 invested annually, our team covers all bases—from content design to cutting-edge digital products. Alone, the battle is uphill; with us, you're part of an unbeatable team.
Premium Pricing Strategy
Learn how to set your rates from $1,200 to $5,000 for a 1/2 day training activity (depending on group size, and whether you are offering a hybrid solution or not). You'll also find out how to make these fees appear as a bargain to your clients by showcasing the immense value they receive in exchange.
Automated Income Streams
Unlock the potential of automated income by leveraging our digital products, enhancing your training sessions into transformative journeys. This flexible approach allows for personalized learning experiences that cater to different preferences and schedules. By offering these programs, you can provide comprehensive training solutions to organizations. Our trainers charge premium prices for training activities, ranging from $1200 to $5000 for a 1/2 day of delivery. Clients value our programs and understand the reasons behind this premium price point.
Meeting High-Stakes Client Demands
- Cutting-edge evidence-based content
- A unified method that high-paying clients crave.
- The security and trust of a proven, globally recognized solution.
- Digital products to build hybrid training solutions (on-demand, just-in-time, and personalized) that clients are demanding these days
Expand your offer
Freelance trainers often focus on their specialties, but leadership development demands a wider skill set, covering competencies from time management to innovation. At SkillsGym, our trainers excel through our unique teaching method rather than subject matter expertise. We provide all necessary content and exercises.
SkillsGym offers over 50 plug-and-play training programs. With our method, you can deliver any program after just three hours of preparation, supported by our session pre-recordings and comprehensive online resources.
Scale your impact by focusing on Train the Trainer activities, not solely delivery by yourself
Amplify your impact by concentrating on Train the Trainer initiatives, rather than limiting yourself to individual delivery.
Our Train the Trainer approach is very popular amongst our own clients. Using our skill development programs on the platform, leaders and teams can set up their own learning moments. Your job is no longer to deliver all the workshops yourself, but to support the organization and leaders in organizing these self-guided learning activities.

If you're a coach, you're now also a trainer!
Starting as a coach is a great foundation for becoming a trainer at SkillsGym. We value trainers as facilitators, not instructors, and provide support for successful delivery. Our unique training model allows trainers to multiply their impact and income by charging on average 10x more for an hour of training activity compared to coaching sessions.
You can offer your clients a proven method for accelerated soft skills development and habit change
Soft skills are becoming increasingly valuable as automation threatens to replace 40% of jobs by the 2030s. Trainers who can accelerate soft skills development and offer comprehensive solutions will be in high demand. Having step-by-step and evidence-based skill development plans for over 90 skills, along with tested habits and conversations, is a valuable resource for individuals and organizations seeking to accelerate skills mastery.
