Certified Facilitator Program
The Certified Facilitator Practitioner (CFP) is a six-month blended learning journey designed to equip HR professionals, leaders and internal facilitators with the confidence and skill to lead engaging, high-impact sessions, from meetings to large-scale workshops.
At Echios, facilitation is a skill that can be learned and refined. Strong facilitation turns information into insight, participation into ownership, and groups into teams.
This certification supports the development of presence, adaptability and impact. It focuses on creating learning environments in which people feel safe, seen and confident to engage, with an emphasis on trust, curiosity and connection.
