Why Certification?

There are diverse understandings of what facilitation is, and what a facilitator needs to be capable of doing, knowing and being.  Increasingly, those seeking to engage a facilitator are asking for evidence of capability, or certification of competency, by which they can judge how likely it is that their expectations of performance will be met.

About CToPF Certification

The Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA), the intellectual property holder of ToPTM, awards candidates the Certified ToP Facilitator (CToPF) designation, which is a practitioner, not trainer, recognition. The Institute of Cultural Affairs is an international network focused on the development and application of social innovation methods for community and organizational development around the world. It also authorizes trainers and assessors to deliver ToPTM training and assess competency for certification

  • Observation by ToPTM trainers of the candidate’s performance during training, including practice and feedback sessions
  • Feedback or testimonials from clients or referees on the performance of the candidate in using ToP™ facilitation
