After completing the Professional Level, you can deepen and further professionalise your knowledge and methods for working with conflicts, relationship and group dynamics in this advanced course.

Over a period of about 12 months, you specialise your theoretical and practical knowledge, also with the help of supervision, video analysis and exchange in the group – always combined with your personal development.

Learning content

You expand and deepen your understanding of process theory and methods for working with group and team dynamics, and further develop your own facilitation style.

We focus on:

• working with your own practice cases through supervision and video analysis
• your ability to facilitate complex conflict and rank dynamics with confidence
• your competence to facilitate demanding group processes, open forums and organisational development professionally

Who is it for?

For people who want to further professionalise their work with groups, teams and organisations and develop their identity as a process-oriented group facilitator.
The focus is on developing your own practice.

Structure of the training

This advanced course is divided into two consecutive learning phases.

It combines learning in the modules with continuous practice, theoretical deepening and individual support through mentoring, process facilitation and supervision.

Phase 1: Building practice

Over 6 months, you complete 5 modules with different thematic focuses, live supervision, video analysis and case discussions. Alongside this, you work with your mentor on professionalising your competence in facilitating groups and conflicts. Your process facilitator supports your personal development.

Phase 2: Completion

In this phase, you develop your own final project and prepare for the examinations. The final examinations take a dialogical form and combine theory and practice. They are designed as a learning space in which you apply your understanding of process-oriented methods.

There are four examination areas:

• group facilitation
• facilitating a relationship between 2 people
• facilitating a conflict of your own / dealing with criticism
• inner work / self-coaching

The focus is on your ability to perceive and facilitate processes, your openness to feedback and your interest in learning in the moment. The examinations make your professional and practical competence visible and help you to recognise your strengths and development opportunities more clearly.
