Enneagram Professional Training Program

The Enneagram Professional Training Program (EPTP) was created by Helen Palmer and David Daniels, MD in 1988 to train and certify Enneagram Teachers in the Narrative Tradition. During the past three decades, more than 3,000 participants have attended the EPTP in 17 countries worldwide, and more than 1000 have become Certified Narrative Enneagram Teachers.

Beginning in 2014, we expanded the EPTP to include a certification track for Narrative Enneagram Practitioners. This offering was created specifically for therapists, coaches and counselors, and is appropriate for anyone who wishes to apply the Narrative Enneagram to their work. (For details, click on the tab for the Practitioners Track below.)

We also remain committed to those who desire to teach the Enneagram, with an enriched certification track for Narrative Enneagram Teachers. (This training has been expanded to include more in-depth attention to conducting panels in the Narrative Tradition, and an entirely new section on developing teaching skills. (For details, click on the tab for the Teachers Track below.)

Whether you choose the Practitioners or Teachers track, all participants in the Enneagram Professional Training Program start with the Typing Process. You may begin this program without a commitment to complete either track. (See details below.)

The Typing Process
Practitioners Track
Teachers Track

(Begin here for either the Enneagram Narrative Teachers or Practitioners track)

3 days

This experiential training teaches you how to assist others in determining their Enneagram type. The Typing Process previously included instruction on panel inquiry, but will now focus solely on the many aspects of the typing interview process.

Step-by-step you will learn how to conduct typing interviews to assist newcomers to the Enneagram in determining their type. Modules on differentiating one type from another, non-verbal aspects of type, and knowledge of your own biases in conducting interviews are also included. The training culminates in a rare hands-on opportunity to practice your skills by interviewing volunteers from the community, with feedback from instructors.

Prerequisite: Enneagram Narrative Core Program

Note: For exceptions to this prerequisite, contact registrar

To learn more or for registration questions, contact Registrar at 866-241-6162, ext. 1 (toll-free) or +1 303-305-4362 outside the U.S.

This course was created specifically for professionals trained as therapists, coaches, counselors and spiritual directors who want to use the Enneagram more effectively in their work to create meaningful and lasting change. Participants should have at least six months experience in an established practice as a one-to-one practitioner.

The Enneagram brings unparalleled benefit to those working with others by providing accurate descriptions of the core structures of the nine personality types, as well as type-specific understanding of the relationship between psychological issues, spiritual qualities and somatic patterns.

The track begins with the Typing Process and continues with The Enneagram for Therapists, Counselors and Coaches: Skills and Practices for Working One-on-One with Clients, and an Internship and Certification. You may begin this track without a commitment to complete all segments.

Prerequisite: Enneagram Narrative Core Program

Note: For exceptions to this prerequisite, contact registrar.

The Enneagram for Therapists, Counselors and Coaches:
Skills and Practices for Working One-on-One with Clients

3 days

Participants will learn the Universal Growth Process (UGP), a practical and powerful model interweaving five components: Awareness, Acceptance, Appreciation, Action and Adherence. Applying the UGP, the nine type structures and somatic elements of each type, you will identify where clients are “stuck,” and clarify and expand your methods for creating lasting change.

During this three-day course, you will explore your own type biases as you discover the gifts and challenges of working with each Enneagram type. You’ll also:

  • Learn three transformational models
  • Hear from each of the nine types about strategies that help them grow
  • Explore your own type biases
  • Work with your growth edge as a practitioner
  • Build skills in self-reflection, self-observation, and receptive awareness
  • Experience how to incorporate somatic elements into your practice
  • Increase your capacity for presence and receptivity

Taught in the Narrative Tradition, this training allows participants to describe their themes, issues and processes, and learn from each other’s rich experiences. The format includes a rich variety of panels, short didactics, breakout groups, somatic exercises, practice sessions and discussion.

You may begin this program without a commitment to complete either track.

Prerequisites: Narrative Enneagram Core Program, the Typing Process, completion of a training program as one-to-one practitioner and a minimum of six months experience in an established practice.
