The Regional Lions Leadership Institute is targeting those Lions and Leos (over 18 years of age) who are looking to take on leadership positions at Club or District levels, maybe for the first time.  It focuses on the skills required to build teams and manage people effectively.

It also builds knowledge of Lions activities outside of club level and includes strategies for making change to move our organisation forward.  There are no pre-qualifications required.

The Faculty Development Institute is designed to develop and expand the number of skilled lions’ trainers who can then conduct training at Club, District and Multiple District levels.  The curriculum is designed to enhance training delivery skills and training techniques to increase the quality of training and overall effectiveness of Lions leadership programmes.

Qualified candidates are those Lions who have some experience as instructors at local Lions training events, have demonstrated basic instructional skills, and have a keen interest in further developing those skills.

Lions participating in the FDI will be required to conduct a local training event within six months of attending the institute, in order to complete the FDI.

 This application form needs to be signed by applicant, District Governor with supporting comments and Multiple District GLT Coordinator with supporting comments before forwarding directly to LCI via email: institutes@lionsclubs.org

The Lions Certified Instructor Program is designed to develop and expand the number of the most senior skilled lions’ trainers.  Lions who complete the LCIP are eligible to serve as faculty at locally approved institutes (FDI & LCIP), as well as International FVDG/DGE Seminar and other training-related events conducted by LCI and from July 2020 it will be a requirement to have LCIP certification to be on faculty for these training programs.

There are several pathways into LCIP but for this course it covers Lions who have training experience, but have not served as FVDG/DGE Seminar Group Leader or Lions Clubs International-directed institute faculty.
