Knowing about the Enneagram and knowing how to effectively use it with clients are two entirely different skills. The Awareness to Action Enneagram Certification Program—built from nearly 30 years of real-world organizational experience—bridges this gap with a systematic, immediately implementable approach. Our three progressive levels take you from foundation to mastery. Level 1 focuses on mastering the essential framework, including the nine strategies, three instinctual biases, and all 27 subtypes. Level 2 unlocks individual transformation through Core Qualities, Accelerators, and personalized development planning. Level 3 teaches you to master professional implementation with complete frameworks for individual, team, and organizational interventions. What sets ATA apart is our practical-over-theoretical approach. Every tool is field-tested, our systematic frameworks work consistently, and our comprehensive toolkit covers everything from assessment to intervention. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced practitioner, you’ll gain immediate professional application skills.
