AoF’s
accreditation process is based on the understanding that
effectiveness as a facilitator rests on a combination of experienced
practice and a sound theoretical underpinning. To gain AoF
recognition, applicants must be able to demonstrate they are
competent in both areas.
The accreditation
process involves applicants:
The process involves applicants first engaging reflectively with their development as a facilitator, and next gathering evidence of their skill and competence as a facilitator in the form of a portfolio presented in person at an interview:
While the preparation of the portfolio
is largely a self-directed activity, significant support is provided
by AoF in the form of a detailed workbook and a one-to-one support
person who is available for telephone/skype calls. From
application to accreditation is typically a 4-6 week process,
depending on spaces available on our Practitioner Accreditation Days.
Please download an extract from the
workbook which describes the process in more detail.
The cost of accreditation via this route is £550 + VAT which includes the workbook, one-to-one support and attendance at an accreditation day. Our forthcoming accreditation dates can be found by visiting our calendar and take place at Highfield Park, Hook, Hampshire. This day is also open to existing accredited members seeking re-accreditation.
