Online Biography Training Program

We are aware of the demand for accessible trainings for Biography Consultants world-wide. Taking the challenge of the Covid crisis as an opportunity, we have decided to offer our 3-year Training Course in Holistic Biography Work online.

We are shaping our existing training into an online, real-time training process, offered across 2 different time zones, over the next few years.

Entry into the Training Program requires

• Completion of the Online Introductory Course
• Completion of the Foundation Workshop in Holistic Biography Work (4-day workshop) or equivalent – see below
• Written application form, including motivation for joining the Training
• Submission of personal Life Panorama Chart
• Personal interview

Each further Module within the Training consists of a 3-day on-line, real-time course.
Each of these Modules is also available for participants for personal and/or professional development, not wanting to commit to the full Training process. A Certificate of Attendance is issued for each Module completed.
Trainees complete the Modules and also attend supportive Tutorials.

The On-line Training Program consists of

• 4 Core Modules – The Foundation Workshop, plus – Helping Conversations, Destiny Learning and Meeting Conflict – see details below.
  Please note: we plan to offer these Core Modules as Residential onsite experiences with contact face-to-face learning, when possible.
