How Can I Become a Core Transformation Trainer? Many capable and warm-hearted individuals are attracted to offering this life-transforming work to others. You have two main pathways to chose from in offering Core Transformation Trainings: 1) Become licensed to use the Core Transformation Trainer Materials Packet. This Training Package from Connirae and Tamara Andreas gives you all the resources you need to support you in providing this workshop in a high-quality way. With this license, you will have the rights to use our successful training design, our detailed Trainer Manual, Participant Notes (in convenient PDF form), and our Assistant Manual. You also receive example CDs of Connirae's Trainings (divided into easy-to-use tracks with commentary), a Sample Free Presentation, and more. Click here for detailed information. 2) Become a member of the Core Transformation Trainers' Association. CTTA Trainers are all endorsed by this Association, having completed an extensive mentorship and review process. Most have worked personally with Connirae and/or Tamara Andreas. We've listed the steps below, for how to become a member of the CTTA, and gain this endorsement. Because we recognize that it is not possible for every trainer to work directly with the CTTA Mentorship Team, particularly international trainers, we are making the Core Transformation Trainer Materials Packet available to other trainers interested in presenting this material. (See #1 above.)
BECOMING YOUR BEST AS TRAINER AND GUIDE: Here are the steps we recommend for becoming your best as a trainer and guide. These recommendations apply both to Trainers getting the Trainer Materials Packet (#1 above), and to those also embarking upon the Mentorship process to join the CTTA (#2 above). You will find each step personally rewarding, in addition to building your trainer skills. FIRST STEP: GAIN EXPERIENCE WITH CT:
This is the most important part of becoming a good CT Trainer. If no CT seminar is scheduled in your area, you may want to sponsor one yourself. A small seminar can be easy to organize, and gives you a way to get trainer "coaching" with the opportunity to earn something for your time. We strongly recommend that you assist at least two of our most experienced Core Transformation Trainers. This will give you direct experience of two excellent styles. Attending live trainings is the easiest way to absorb a great deal of information and skill. Then, as you begin teaching yourself, you will find your own style of presenting this work. *NOTE: If attending a live CT workshop is not possible for you, we recommend experiencing the complete training on DVD through Tamara Andreas' "Core Transformation--the Full 3-Day Workshop." OTHER RECOMMENDED STEPS: We find that the following experiences also enrich training ability:
WHEN DO I BEGIN TEACHING? The decision about when you are ready to begin is very individual. We encourage you to discuss this with the CT Trainer with whom you have worked most closely. You don't need to wait to have completed all of the steps above to begin your teaching. If you are an experienced trainer, you may be more than ready already. (**Please note that this is experiential training. Experience with informational or other types of training is different.) If CT is the first material you have offered in a workshop, we encourage you to begin with a small group of 4-6 participants. When you have successfully taught several small groups, you will probably feel ready to teach larger groups (and to coordinate the assistant teams necessary for a larger group). We encourage you to have a "back-up." Know where to refer any participants you feel need more one-on-one assistance. TRAINER COACHING: You can arrange to receive individual coaching from any of the CTTA trainers. The easiest way to learn the most from our experienced trainers is to assist at a CT workshop. You'll learn just by being there, at no extra cost to you. (Each Trainer sets his/her own policies, but Assistants usually attend free. Usually Assistants have already attended the CT workshop at least once as a participant.) Let the trainer know of your interest in developing your trainer skills. We encourage you to assist with at least two of our most experienced CT trainers, so that you experience several styles. VIDEO REVIEW: You can arrange for one of our Trainer Mentors to review a videotape of your training, and offer coaching & suggestions to support you in your trainer development. Contact Marilyn Sargent or Tamara Andreas to make arrangements and find out fees.
HOW CAN I JOIN THE CORE TRANSFORMATION TRAINERS ASSOCIATION? CTTA Trainers are all highly-skilled and heartful people who are dedicated to sharing this work with others in a way that matches the quality of the work itself. If you want to be endorsed as a CTTA trainer, work with this training team, and have the benefits of networking together, apply through the steps below. Our Trainer Pathway is designed to support you in becoming an excellent CT Trainer, and to let us know you and your ability. We believe that each step to becoming an endorsed trainer in CTTA will also be enriching for you. We encourage you to become a member of CTTA if you find that the steps are valuable for your own growth as a trainer. We expect CTTA Trainers to complete most or all of the following steps. Our intention is to have a team of highly-qualified trainers. If you can demonstrate that you meet our criteria in some other way, (for example if you are already an experienced trainer), you may not need to go through a given step. Usual CTTA Trainer Pathway Steps: Note: You may follow these steps in a different order. Some steps are not relevant for all CT Trainers.
TO APPLY: We ask you to fill out an application form that includes information about your training background. Send this, along with a $125 application fee, to Connirae Andreas, c/o Real People Press, 1221 Left Hand Canyon Dr., Boulder, CO 80302. Click here to download application form. Questions? e-mail order@realpeoplepress.com Your application fee will cover the CTTA Mentor's review of your application and a phone consultation with you about how to best develop your trainer skills, and your recommended next steps in becoming an endorsed member. We encourage you to complete a minimum of the first two steps above before applying. If/when you can demonstrate that you meet our criteria for excellent training, our Trainer Mentors will invite you to become a member of CTTA. It is easiest for us to know about you and your work if you have worked closely with our trainers. To invite you to join, we need to know you and your work well enough to endorse you. Two keys to completing this process are:
OUR CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTANCE: CTTA trainers strive to embody the principles in Core Transformation as well as offer quality training experiences. We hope this list gives you a picture of the goals we strive to meet:
CTTA Levels: You can join the CTTA at different levels. Moving to the next level usually happens through acquiring additional teaching experience with CT, and demonstrating greater depth through video review and favorable participant feedback. Trainer Intern: New trainers with little or no experience teaching seminars join as Trainer Interns. Associate Trainer: An Associate Trainer usually has considerable experience with training, and/or with training CT. Associate Trainers have met most or all of the training criteria listed above, plus have successfully completed a video review. At this level you can choose to list your trainings on the CTTA web site as a CTTA Trainer. Trainer: After teaching CT for several years, the experienced Associate Trainer may choose to have another video review to become a member at the Trainer level. Senior Trainers: Usually have additional years of teaching experience, and have achieved a high level of depth and ability. Trainer Mentors: Are Senior Trainers who are devoting some of their time to developing the CT Training Team by coaching others and doing video reviews. Note: Our intention is to support each other in becoming increasingly skilled, heartful, and effective in sharing this work with others. We recognize that a "level" such as those listed above can never be a complete picture. Doing what you feel fits for your own development as a person and trainer is more important than being at any particular level. While having a video review is the main practical way we have found to "graduate" someone to the next level, we encourage trainers to take these steps only if they find the video review a worthwhile experience in itself. To arrange a video review, contact Marilyn Sargent or Tamara Andreas to make arrangements and to find out fees.
