certification exams

[Adam Blatner]

response to Rebecca--- re Federation of Trainers  which operated mainly around 1978 through 1987 or thereabouts... 
       there were some attempts to identify curricular standards but they were very general. I don't remember anything useful coming from this, and no consensus was reached. 
          Consensus requires sustained discussion, and that requires time and thoughtful focus, and .... sigh...

    Warmly, Adam

  years ago, before I was an active trainer, there was a federation of trainers. I wonder if they also had developed some sort of consensus of curriculum and if so, does anyone have a copy of it.

    I always thought it'd be cool to have curriculum, sort of a overview with details pointing to resources for preparing for the cp and tep exams. 
    Louise is so good at that, she has pretty much everything very organized and might be able to advise or help.

      Dear People, I've sought feedback and want to say again that it might be interesting and helpful to identify specifically which items on recent exams are not adequately covered in the mainstream literature. I've written about updating a glossary, a project that might require the collaboration or at least input from at least five TEPs who might agree on a given definition. 
            I wonder if person A who trains with Trainer X gets the same information as person B training with Trainer Y.
                      Well, Ed Schreiber's points are well taken, about process. (I did the same for specialty board exams.)
               Good wishes. 
          Warmly Adam

        Oh yes, now I remember, our "national holi-day" 


        Dear Soon to be TEPs and CPs,
        THe week before was like an altered state for me..
        Hyper-focus-trying to be relaxed.  Jeez, it was like the
        end of a marathon, and a marathon itself.


        The week before I did this cool thing:
        I tool the mass of notes and put them on 3/5 cares, summaries,
        then read them a few times (a card for methodology, a card for research,
        etc.) And then after reading those cards a few times, I reduced the cards
        to another version with just a few words to trigger my memory of the whole
        picture for each card.  It worked - and I thank Louise Lipman for teaching that.


        All in all it felt like a chance to say to the world:  this is me, this is what I know,
        this is what I have done and how I've done it  -  with gratitude and pride.


        Enjoy, good luck!
