TRAIN-THE-TRAINER --GAPS^TM MAPPING: CREATING A VISION OF THE FUTURE

Description
This day long event is for those who would like to effectively facilitate the three day GAPS^tm Mapping workshop. The focus will be on facilitation skills. Presentation skills will also be addressed and participants will have portions of their presentations video taped.  A GAPS^tm Mapping Seminar Leader’s Manual will also be provided to each participant.

To complete the certification process, upon completion of this course, individuals must co-facilitate a GAPS^tm Mapping event to the satisfaction of the certified lead facilitator at that event. (Objective criteria that this evaluator will use will be described to the candidate for certification prior to this event). 

Organizations sponsoring participants in this class will then be permitted to license for use all GAPS^tm Mapping materials provided that a certified facilitator directs the course.
