Guess who can call herself IAF Certified^TM Professional Facilitator?

The IAF Certified^TM Professional Facilitator (CPF) is the professional designation for IAF members who demonstrate having Core Facilitator Competencies.  The Core Competencies represent a fundamental set of skills, knowledge, and behaviours that support effective facilitation in a wide variety of contexts.

The CPF designation benefits both facilitators and their clients. Facilitators achieve a formal certification and undertake valuable self-reflection and learning. For clients, working with a CPF provides an assurance that the facilitator has met the internationally recognised standard for effective facilitation of group processes. 

To achieve the CPF designation, a facilitator needs to document their experience and must demonstrate both knowledge of, and skills in applying, the IAF’s Facilitator Core Competencies. 

These are:

1. Create Collaborative Client Relationships
2. Plan Appropriate Group Processes
3. Create and Sustain a Participatory Environment
4. Guide Group to Appropriate and Useful Outcomes
5. Build and Maintain Professional Knowledge
6. Model Positive Professional Attitude
