Practitioner Certification

Narrative Enneagram Practitioner Certification

After completing our Foundational Courses, students may choose to pursue the Narrative Enneagram Professional Training Program (EPTP) Practitioner Track or Teacher Track.

The Practitioner Track is for therapists, counselors, coaches, social workers, mental health practitioners, spiritual directors, HR managers, and other practitioners who work one-to-one with individuals.*

The Enneagram brings unparalleled benefits 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 Practitioner Track includes the following courses and trainings:

  • Typing Process (also included in the Teacher Track)
  • The Enneagram for Therapists, Counselors and Coaches (ETCC)
  • Internship and Certification

I attended the Practitioner Training in the hope of deepening my work with my clients. As a person who has greatly benefited from the Enneagram in my personal life, I knew that using it professionally would set me apart in private practice. It was incredible to be able to engage with other professionals from diverse backgrounds to create a supportive community to lean on for insight. I really appreciated the practical exercises to see Enneagram work in practice! I’m very thankful for the training.

*You must have professional training in your field and at least six months of experience working with clients as an established one-to-one practitioner to begin this course. If you do not meet this criteria, please consider the Teacher Track instead.

Typing Process

This experiential, step-by-step training teaches you how to conduct typing interviews using the inquiry method to assist newcomers to the Enneagram in determining their type. Modules include:

  • Differentiating one type from another
  • Non-verbal aspects of type
  • Knowledge of your own biases in conducting interviews

The training culminates in a rare hands-on opportunity to practice your skills by interviewing volunteers from the community, with feedback from instructors.
