The core of the Certification Program is your participation in the 12+week Revolutionary Agreements Program you are being certified to lead. Additionally, the Certification Program opens with A Strong Foundation of ICF Core CompetenciesThe first monthly peer roundtable following your coursework focuses on Attracting Your Ideal Participant

The Fall 2018 program will meet on Tuesdays at 5 pm PT beginning August 21. The full schedule will be posted here by August 1.

Each Agreement session includes the resources you’ll need to deliver that session to your clients, including a fully-scripted Facilitator’s Guide and corresponding Powerpoint Slides. In order for you to experience the 12-session program similarly to your clients, the resources for each session will become available to you the day following the session you have completed. Once made available, all resources remain available for you to use as a member of the Agreements Institute.

Each week between our sessions together, you and your buddy will have one 15-20 minute call to reflect on what you are learning. After this call, one of you will capture your insights on this form, which will be shared with your facilitator.
