You spend hours, days, weeks outlining your course, making the slides, writing scripts, recording videos, planning your launch, welcoming your ideal clients… but then you notice all of the materials you’ve created aren’t being accessed.

The dashboard shows low completion rates, some modules go untouched and the excited buzz you wanted to see from your students as they work through the trainings just isn’t there.

This isn’t just a one-off. As your course or program progresses, you see your clients losing connection with your curriculum. Not only does it make you question your content – but your expertise and whether you should even bother running these 1:many spaces in the first place.

And it’s not just your curriculum either. Call attendance starts to wane and the community platform you set up, hoping to sit back and observe clients raving about what they’re learning is eerily silent.

You expected questions flying in, clients celebrating wins big and small and no matter how many prompts you offer or chats you try to start, it just falls flat.

So you expect the feedback to roll in, your clients telling you that they’re struggling and need help and that’s why there’s no progress.

You rely on their feedback to know what to change or improve – but you don’t get that either.

This mix of low curriculum completion rates, quiet communities, poorly attended calls and scarce feedback makes you question everything – it can lead to total burn out!

The good news is, there are effective strategies you can implement to turn your program from icky to sticky.

When you solve the problem of a program ghost-town, you’ll feel the transformation.

Imagine logging on to your course portal and seeing the majority of students racing through the curriculum.

Showing up for your group call and see all your faves queuing in the waiting room, ready to bring the vibes and spend a fun, productive and celebratory hour together.

Hopping into your community to see it bustling with questions, clients celebrating each other and raving words about your program.

This isn’t just about higher completion rates; it’s about creating a learning experience that resonates, inspires, and truly impacts your clients’ lives and practices.

Imagine feeling confident every time you launch a module, knowing that not only will it be consumed but that it will also foster community and connection among participants. 

The feedback flows abundantly, giving you clear insights into what excites and engages your clients. 

This feedback becomes the goldmine from which you continue to refine and perfect your course, making each iteration better than the last. With each launch cycle, your reputation as a transformative educator grows, attracting more students and establishing your authority in your field.

Let me share the story of Emily, an EFT tapping coach who faced similar challenges with her group program. 

Initially, her curriculum suffered from low completion rates and minimal engagement. 

Realising something had to change, Emily decided to take a bold step—she re-recorded her entire curriculum. 

By injecting more of her personality into the lessons and incorporating interactive elements based on prior student feedback, she transformed the learning experience. 

Emily also introduced weekly live tapping sessions to accompany the re-recorded modules, providing a space for clients to connect and discuss their experiences in real-time. 

The results were remarkable. 

Not only did curriculum completion rates soar, but the community also thrived. 

Participants were more engaged, and the energy of the group was high-vibe. 

Clients started reporting better results with their EFT practices, and the word of mouth led to increased enrolments. 

Emily felt so excited to run and grow her program, knowing her efforts had not only elevated her program but had also genuinely enriched her clients’ growth. 

This kind of success story is within reach when you tackle the core issues affecting student engagement and curriculum completion. The sense of fulfillment that comes from seeing your participants thrive because of improvements you’ve made is incredibly rewarding—and absolutely possible.

Increasing curriculum completion rates is essential for enhancing client engagement, retention, and overall results in any group program.

Here are ten effective strategies that group program leaders can implement to achieve these goals:

1. Enhance Onboarding Processes: 

Develop an engaging and informative onboarding process that helps clients understand what to expect from the course, how to navigate through the materials, and the value of completing the program. A strong start sets the tone for active participation.

2. Segment the Content: 

Break down course materials into smaller, manageable segments. Short, focused modules that can be completed in a single sitting can reduce overwhelm and give students a sense of progress and achievement.

3. Incorporate Interactive Elements: 

Use quizzes, polls, and interactive assignments to make learning active rather than passive. These elements can help reinforce the material and make the learning experience more engaging.

4. Leverage Community Engagement: 

Foster a vibrant community where clients can discuss course materials, share experiences, and support each other. This could be facilitated through regular discussion prompts, group challenges, and peer review sessions.

5. Implement a Gamification Strategy: 

Introduce elements of gamification such as challenges or incentives to motivate students and create a fun, competitive environment that encourages course completion.

6. Schedule Regular Check-Ins: 

Organize weekly or bi-weekly asynchronous check-ins or live sessions to keep clients accountable. These sessions can address any questions, help clear up confusions, and motivate students to keep up with the course schedule.

7. Offer Flexible Learning Paths: 

Provide different learning paths within the curriculum to cater to varying levels of prior knowledge and experience. This customization can help ensure that all students find the content relevant and appropriately challenging.

8. Don’t Drip Content:

Adults like autonomy over their learning and dripping content can be frustrating and demotivating, Allow your clients to access the curriculum as and when they want will motivate them to work through.

9. Provide Real-World Applications: 

Show how the curriculum content can be applied in real-life scenarios. This not only makes learning more interesting but also demonstrates the practical value of completing the course, thus motivating clients to engage more deeply.

10. Celebrate Milestones and Completion: 

Recognise and celebrate milestones throughout the course. Rewards, shoutouts in the community can boost morale and encourage clients to see the course through to the end.

By implementing these strategies, you can significantly improve how clients interact with the curriculum content, which in turn can lead to higher completion rates, better retention, and more impactful results. 

Each strategy helps create a motivating learning environment that encourages students to commit to their learning journey – which means they’ll ultimately get Rave Results.

Making your curriculum sticky doesn’t just mean happier students; it’s a game-changer for your sales and future launches too. 

Here’s the thing: when more of your clients complete your program, they’re not just finishing; they’re likely reaping all the incred wins you’ve packed in there. 

That kind of satisfaction turns into gold—gold in the form of raving testimonials.

Think about it like this: when you’re browsing for anything online, don’t those five-star reviews catch your eye? It’s the same sitch for your offers. 

Those rave reviews from peeps who’ve gone all the way through your program and come out shining on the other side are like magnets for new clients. They see those happy endings, and they want in on the action.

And it doesn’t stop at great testimonials. Happy students spread the word. They tell their friends, their colleagues, and before you know it, you’ve got referrals rolling in. 

Referrals are like getting a marketing boost without spending a penny. 

Plus, clients who get referred are usually more engaged and ready to dive in—they’ve already heard how great it is!

Not to mention, clients who love your course will likely stick around. 

They’ll want to see what else you’ve got—maybe another course or a follow-up program. 

This means more retention, and retention means a steadier income stream from your offerings.

Last but not least, all this sticky curriculum magic builds up a killer reputation for you. Being known for courses that people actually finish and benefit from? 

That’s the kind of rep that sets you up as a leader in your field. It can lead to bigger opportunities, better collaborations, and yes, even lets you bump up those prices.

So, focusing on getting those curriculum completion rates up. 

It’s not just good for your clients; it’s smart business that leads to better launches and more sales. It’s all about setting off that domino effect of success, one satisfied student at a time.
