The Institute offers three levels of certification in Renewal practice:

• The Core Renewal Practitioner certification program focuses on Higher Self development and the expression of individual potential and growth—"the conscious, purposeful, inspired, connected individual self/me."
  
• The Group Renewal Practitioner certification program places increased awareness on the dynamics of group interaction within the context of Soul groups—"the conscious, purposeful, inspired self/Self with awareness of Soul group relationships and being-ness."
  
• The Community Renewal Practitioner certification program places emphasis on greater consciousness and skills relating to our presence within, support of, and work with Communities of Light—"the conscious, purposeful, inspired self/Self as part of a Community of Light."

Develop grace, confidence, and expertise

The three levels are sequential; successful completion of the courses and practice in one level provides preparation for you to open to the consciousness shifts and skills of the next level.

Each certification program builds on the skills introduced in the previous level and has a multi-part curriculum including

• Home study to deepen and integrate the learnings
  
  
• In-person continuing education seminars to expand your skills and offer new tools
  
  
• A practicum to give you real-world experience
  
  
• Telephone tutorials with Network Stewards to answer your questions and receive feedback, and
  
  
• A skills demonstration that leads to certification

Each program increases your skills with the meditation and inner generative aspects of Renewal as well as the outer expressions of the work in reflective practice, ethics, spiritual relating, spiritual counseling, and community development.

Work at your own pace

You may complete the requirements for each level of certification at your own pace. At a reasonable pace of practice in logging practicum hours, each level could be completed in approximately two years. If you desire, you may proceed more quickly, but 18 months per level is the minimum to allow you to mature in your practice.

Focus on certification or let it unfold organically

You may know right away that you are interested in becoming a certified Renewal Practitioner. In that case, you may wish to create a detailed plan for completing the certification requirements for a particular level.

However, even if you may not initially be interested in receiving certification, we suggest that you

• Practice in your Renewal Triangle and keep excellent records of your sessions so that you are accumulating your practicum hours without effort, as a natural result of your caring for yourself and for your Triangle mates
  
  
• Take continuing education training courses as you are naturally drawn to the topics
  
  
• Allow your progress to be an organic reflection of your achievements, and
  
  
• Demonstrate your skills and receive certification when you are ready
