PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
for Outer Impact
To accommodate changes to the CP Professional Certification and Personal Mastery programs, new enrollments will be paused this summer for both programs and for Peer Pathways.
this program is
designed to help you deepen your Enneagram knowledge and skill to help other people in life or at work. This program is not only for coaches, therapists, teachers, and other professionals, but it is also for leaders of all kinds of teams (corporate or not), as well as people interested in better applying this system in parenting or with family and friends.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The program is comprised of three courses, coaching sessions with a program supervisor, as well as assignments, supplemental online courses and content (including The Enneagram Masterclass), assessments, Skill-Up Seminars, Learning Labs, and a robust online learning community.
After completing the program, students will have the option to renew at a highly discounted rate to continue accessing Skill-Up Seminars, Learning Labs, supplemental online content, and in-program discussions.
Please Note: This is a rigorous program that values you as a professional and a person on your own inner development trajectory. Once you start the program and your supervising coach gets to know you a bit more, they may identify areas of growth (in knowledge, skill set, or personal work) that you may need to do additional work in order to be the best professional you can be. This means that your coach may assign you new coursework, extra assignments, or even recommend therapy before they determine you are set to be certified.

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS WORKSHOP
Developing Powerful Enneagram Skills
This workshop provides a deep grounding in the Enneagram as an extraordinarily effective and inspiring client resource. It will equip you to make well-informed, skillful use of the Enneagram in your professional work with clients. Through learning about myths and misconceptions, key issues, and “what works” and what “doesn’t work” when working with the 9 types and 27 subtypes, this course will take your Enneagram knowledge and skill in working with the Enneagram to a much higher level.
This course is available online only.
PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS WORKSHOP (2 Parts taken in any order)
Expert Typing Methods
This workshop provides methods to help clients find their Enneagram Types, Subtypes, and Instinctual Sequences using CP Enneagram typing tools. Also, students will learn how to guide clients after they take these tests and how to make safe use of them.
Overcoming Client Challenges
This workshop focuses on helping you develop greater facility by evaluating real case studies, learning to assess the client’s challenges, and providing specific solutions to their needs, so you can apply the Enneagram in your professional work for maximum, positive “outer impact” with your clients.
This course is available online only.
INNER WORK RETREAT
The Psychological Enneagram
This five-day retreat offers an Enneagram-based immersion, guiding participants to uncover unconscious patterns and release the emotional energy bound up in ego defenses. Through experiential teachings, personal inquiry, and structured practices, students learn to redirect this energy toward higher levels of awareness and grounded inner transformation. Led by Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes, the retreat provides a powerful container for facing core emotional truths and cultivating a new way of being rooted in presence and psychological growth.
This retreat is available in-person or online.

CP Enneagram Academy, including the Supervisor in consultation with Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes, reserves the right to assess the Student’s eligibility for professional certification and may postpone the Student’s graduation due to one or more of the following reasons:
incomplete or low-quality assignments, poor grades in assessments;
lack of commitment to the program/supervision process;
lack of knowledge of one or more fundamental concepts;
lack of commitment to continuous inner work;
lack of commitment to the code of conduct and participant expectations.

No. While our live courses can all be taken remotely, only portions of them are recorded. Students are required to participate fully in order for the sessions to count toward their certification. This means that students cannot step out of the classroom for meetings or other commitments during course time. We ask that if you know of a commitment you cannot change that you register for the course at a future date.

Uranio Paes started using the Enneagram mat to guide inner work. Since then, Bea and Uranio also use this sacred symbol to help their students in inner work. We offer the Enneagram mat to students who are serious about using it respectfully and ethically. You can learn more about purchasing it here.
