Who can become a participant of Studium/ CCP certification? POZNAN: Participant of Studium can become any person that is interested in working with educational/ development groups. Acceptance of being a participant in Studium is preceded by a consultation in which the potential participant answers some questions about motivations and expectations towards the program of Studium. We are checking not only the qualifications of the candidate but concordance between candidates needs and expectations towards Studium with the program of the Studium. We also pay attention towards candidates persistence and potential obstacles which could prevent the completion of a Studium. Very important for us is as well participant’s readiness for personal development and thus the functioning and analysing emotions in the group. Candidate should have the readiness towards revealing his emotions and sharing stories about personal experience connected with being in the group. 24 Plano A: Anyone with the twelfth grade or middle school level (correspondent to ninth grade) as long as you have 5 years experience working in the professional area in which you’re applying for certificating. There are no other qualifications necessary for applying for the trainers certification. What are the qualifications to become a trainer in Poland, Portugal? POZNAN: Practicing the profession of a trainer in Poland is not in any way regulated. It means that anyone can call themselves a trainer and does not have to demonstrate therefore any qualifications. The professional societies tries to fill this loophole issuing recommendations for the trainers that meet the requirements for these societies.
