Behavioural Design Fundamentals Course

Design behaviour change
that actually works.

Most professionals try to change behaviour by persuading. That is why so little changes: the automatic brain decides. You can learn to design for how people really choose. In two days, with a method you use the very next day and our AI Guru at your side.

Is this course for you?

What you can do after this course

Six things you will simply do after two days, on your own challenge.

Influence without pushing or pleasing Remove resistance instead of talking it away Spot the behavioural barriers that block change Design interventions that actually move behaviour Get people on board with your plans Test quickly what works before you roll out

Not for you if

You are looking for an academic deep dive into behavioural science, or expecting a tool or platform: this is a method you learn to apply yourself. This course is for people who want to put it to work the very next day.

What will you learn?

From behavioural analysis to tested intervention, in two days

No theory to file away. You'll learn to see what you never noticed before: the invisible forces that drive behaviour. And you'll apply it immediately to a real case. You'll leave with a complete toolkit and the ability to crack challenges you used to think were unsolvable. AI runs through both days: you learn the method and how to direct AI with it.

  • 02How do people really make decisions?
  • 03What forces stand between current and desired behaviour?

Participants working with the SUE templates on their own case

  • 07How do you increase capacity for change?
  • 08How do you increase willingness to change?

EQAC Certificate Behavioural Design

9.3/10 · EQAC Certified

I loved the dynamic of the course: exactly the right amount of theory, but above all focused on how to apply it every day. The SUE team made me feel right at home!
Brilliant programme! Good balance between theory and practice. A solid pace, yet easy to follow.
I cannot wait to share these new insights with my colleagues. The concepts of gains, pains, anxieties and comforts stuck with me immediately.
Remarkable how complex material comes to life in a fun and interactive training. The two days flew by and everything was put together excellently.

What else do you want to know?

Everything you need to know

Absolutely. Behavioural Design is for anyone who works with people. Our participants come from marketing, HR, policy, UX, product, sales, communications, healthcare and leadership. It's not about your job title, it's about whether you want to change behaviour.

No. The course starts at the fundamentals and builds systematically. Whether you're hearing about behavioural science for the first time or already have experience, the Influence Framework gives everyone a fresh, practical lens.

The content is identical: same 11 modules, same tools, same certificate. The difference is the experience. Online, you work at your own pace (approx. 16 hours) with personal feedback on your case and lifetime access. Live, you work intensively for two days with up to 16 professionals in Amsterdam.

You follow 33 lessons at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you, while working on a behavioural challenge of your own. A trainer gives you personal feedback on every assignment. You get six months of access (plenty), the same toolkit with templates and cheat cards as the live edition, and you finish with a digital certificate.

Yes. The course is EQAC-accredited and you'll receive an official certificate. We invoice your company directly. Most participants claim it as professional development. Still need to win your manager over? Need to convince your manager first? Download “How to convince my boss” (pdf): seven persuasion principles plus a ready-made email you can forward straight away.

The live edition costs €1,490 ex VAT (two days in Amsterdam), the online edition €1,190 ex VAT (33 lessons, at your own pace). The course includes far more than two days of sessions. You also get a complete toolbox with templates, access to the BD × AI Guru (for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini), lifetime BD Club membership, and an EQAC certificate. Participants rate the course 9.3/10 and 98% recommend it.

The Influence Framework. The SWAC Tool. A Behavioural Design Toolbox with templates and cheat cards. The BD × AI Guru for direct AI support (as GPT, Claude Skill, Copilot Agent and Gemini Gem). An EQAC certificate. And lifetime BD Club membership.

Think about it this way: if the course helps you make just one campaign, product or proposal more effective, what's that worth? Participants rate the course 9.3/10 and 98% recommend it. Unable to attend? You can always send a colleague in your place, free of charge.
