Who the training is for — and who it's not for
A good fit if…
You work with people and carry emotional responsibility — e.g. in education, social or health professions, HR, teams or self-employed practice.
You're looking for a recognised, practice-oriented training — and want to understand how the IHK training path fits your professional role.
You're looking for structured, non-therapeutic tools — that you can clearly explain to colleagues, managers or your HR department.
Not if…
You're looking for therapy, clinical treatment or crisis support. Emotional Pedagogy® is professional training, not therapy.
You only want self-paced videos. The training includes live elements and exchange.
Recognised qualifications or certificates don't matter to you. Our programmes are deliberately designed as certified professional development.
Your next step
There is no live info session at the moment. Everything you need to decide — costs, time commitment, who it's for and who it's not for — is on our overview page (in German).

Your host: Katrin Michl
Founder of the Private Institute for Emotional Pedagogy and developer of the Emotional Pedagogy® method. For over 20 years, she has worked with people who work with others and carry responsibility — in education, organisations, social, health and HR contexts. Her focus: understanding emotional dynamics in professional situations and turning them into concrete, teachable competence.
She brings a clear, structured method that translates emotional pressure in everyday work into practical tools — applicable in conversations, conflicts and leadership situations.
The training in Emotional Pedagogy® builds on this methodology. The IHK training path is aligned with it and enables a recognised professional qualification.
