Facilitator training guide (FAC)

Module 0 • Facilitator training guide (FAC)
Audience, method, parts, assessment

Status of statements. [Established] documented fact or recognised clinical practice; [Tradition] what the constellation movement reports; [Hypothesis] proposed explanation, not demonstrated. The effectiveness of constellations has not been demonstrated (see FAC module 5.3).

Aim of the course

To understand the family constellations method, its history and its limits, and prepare to practise or support it responsibly: distinguishing what is established from what belongs to the tradition or to hypothesis, putting people’s safety before any systemic reading, and respecting the legal framework of your country.

Framework. This course confers no protected title (psychologist, psychotherapist, doctor) and does not replace any medical or psychological care. The effectiveness of constellations has not been demonstrated (module 5.3). The law and the emergency numbers cited are those of France; elsewhere (Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, etc.), check the rules of your country.

The six parts

Part	Modules	Content	Indicative duration
1 — Theoretical and historical foundations	1.1 to 1.4	History, fundamental concepts, systemic principles, theoretical influences	5 to 6 h
2 — Systemic orders	2.1 to 2.4	The three orders of love, dynamics, entanglements, particular fates	6 to 7 h
3 — Constellation practice	3.1 to 3.4	How a constellation unfolds, roles and stances, techniques and tools, facilitator skills	7 to 8 h
4 — Specific themes	4.1 to 4.4	Couple, health and symptoms, money, death and mourning	8 to 9 h

6 — Professionalisation and ethics	6.1 to 6.4	Ethical framework, stance, legal aspects, associations and certifications	6 to 7 h

How to follow the course

Follow the parts in order: each assumes the previous ones. Total indicative duration: 38 to 44 hours of reading and exercises.
Each module includes a course page, exercises and a self-assessment test (10 questions, pass mark 6/10).
The course’s global glossary is in this course; a link leads to it from each part.
The forums allow learners to exchange. Do not post any personal data there.
For therapists, a complementary programme, Therapist Training — Individual Practice (THE), assumes this course (Parts 1 to 3, 5 and 6).

Certificate

The self-assessment tests award no title. Any certificate of attendance is issued by the training organisation, is not a state diploma and does not open up the practice of any regulated profession.

Optional levels

Each module ends with optional levels (Advanced, Expert, Master). They deepen the module, stay within the same course and are not assessed in the final exam.
