Certification Team

The purposes of CNVC Trainer Certification

Certification is a validation and celebration of a new colleague joining our CNVC community.

CNVC has two long-term goals for the certification process. One is to create a community of trainers who want to work with CNVC to fulfill our vision. The second is to ensure that the next generation and succeeding generations are taught NVC in a way that preserves and protects the integrity of the NVC process.

CNVC certification candidates have expressed the following goals: connection to CNVC, contribution to our vision, integrity, credibility, mutual support, and personal growth.
