CNVC Certified Trainers

CNVC is committed to a vision of a critical mass of people using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) throughout the world. A strong community of qualified trainers will play an important role in the realization of this goal.

We want to emphasize that the Center has a unique perspective in offering certification, CNVC certification is a validation and celebration of a new colleague joining our community. It is not a permanent credential like a diploma, and is renewed each year to stay in effect. In essence, it is an annual renewal of commitment to the organization.

CNVC has two long-term goals for the certification process. One 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. The second is to create a community of trainers who want to work with CNVC to fulfill our vision.

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