The Chestnut Paes (CP) Professional Certification Program develops professionals’ capacities to use the Enneagram in their work to successfully assess, develop, and support individuals and groups. 

This certification signals to the Enneagram community that the CP Enneagram Academy (or The Academy) certified practitioner uses the highest quality and latest Enneagram theory and practices and applies the system in ethical, professional, and mindful ways. The following Terms and Conditions define the terms between the CP Enneagram Academy and the Student entering into the professional certification track.

SCOPE OF THE PROGRAM

The Academy will deliver a rigorous program that educates the Student on the professional use of the Enneagram and requires that the teachers and staff of CP Enneagram evaluate the level of Enneagram knowledge and ability of the Student. This program, however, does not certify that the Student has the necessary competency to coach, do therapy, or lead and influence people, in general, as the focus of this program is the application of the Enneagram system. 

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality will be held within the CP Enneagram Academy staff, which includes Beatrice Chestnut, Uranio Paes, the Student’s assigned supervising coach, staff therapists at CP events, and all staff, including our administrative and support staff.
