PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
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.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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. Information will be shared scarcely within this team and will only be discussed on a “need to know” basis.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All materials, of any kind, which is developed by The Academy and disclosed during the program are copyright-owned by The Academy. It means that any and all use, total or partial copy, or disclosure of the materials by the Student is forbidden and it will be considered an intellectual property violation subject to judicial measures to safeguard The Academy’s rights. This also applies to the use of trademarks and logos owned by The Academy. During the program, the Student will be advised which materials are permitted to be used outside and towards third parties and, then, the Student will be asked to sign the terms of participation and expectations as well as the Academy’s code of conduct.
