CERTIFICATION CLASS

The Certification Class is exclusively for people who would like to have a Catalyst certification. This 12-hour program is delivered over one weekend, 6 hours per day. It includes all of the logistics involved in being responsible as a professional. This class goes deeply into the by-laws, code of professional ethics, and paperwork. It also includes many of the resources available for usage, such as the quality of life survey (both baseline and follow up), intention sheets, and more.

Many scenarios are provided to help new facilitators gain a practical understanding of how to handle a wide variety of situations. Independent of how active someone may be as a Catalyst facilitator, this information has practical significance that goes way beyond the practice of Catalyst. Communication is an important tool. It does more than educate people new to Catalyst. It provides the highest standards for facilitators to follow.

Perhaps the greatest challenge in taking Catalyst out into the world is the fact that little is known about it. Although being a well-kept secret may be a source of satisfaction to those of us who have reaped the benefits of Catalyst for years, "coming out" may raise a few eyebrows from people who are either inherently skeptical or uncomfortable exploring something new. Even worse, systems are in place to continue to keep outside-the-box strategies less well-known and not so easily accessible. Understanding all of this regarding our current cultural status may make the decision easier for prospective facilitators to decide whether or not they choose to practice Catalyst. Be it known, it is not for the weak of heart.
