There are three steps to becoming a certified CWH Trainer:

1. Take the Conversation Bootcamp, either on-demand or live, virtual program.
2. Take the Certification Training.
3. Complete your certification application.

As soon as you register for the certification training course, you will have access to the CWH Trainer portal. The portal provides you with all of our materials:

• Slides
• Videos
• Workbooks
• Case studies
• Forms
• Marketing materials
• Facili-Trainer Skills Workbook

We encourage you to start by introducing people to the concepts. Test your skills and confidence by sharing the materials from the Bootcamp. Integrate CWH into your other training, consulting, or coaching work.

You will not be able to provide participants with a Certificate of Completion until you are certified, but otherwise, you are free to begin training others promptly.

Certification training is hands-on and highly experiential. You will work with others to design training for a specific group, together determining how you will deliver the materials. We engage in a listening activity, practice positive framing and generative questions on dive tough communication challenges, we discuss needed skills for facilitation and training, and we go into detail about the application process. 

Those who've gone through this training report greater confidence in their ability to facilitate a conversation worth having as well as train others to use the practices.

When you register for the certification training you are granted a one year membership in the CWH community with full access to the CWH Trainer Portal and the CWHConnect Community. To continue to participate in the community with full access to all of our copyrighted material, CWHConnect, and other member benefits, there is an annual membership fee. In addition, we ask that you respond quarterly to a brief survey we send that helps us track how many people and organizations are learning these practices. This information lends credibility to the marketing materials we prepare and share with the community.
