The Enneagram University

If you're looking for a breeze-course to fly through and add letters to your name, this isn't for you. We exist to create the most competent and confident Enneagram coaches on the market. That takes time, challenge, and a commitment to going all in, to learn & to grow in excellence, skillfulness, and coaching ethics. Our students include: therapists + PhDs, social workers, educators, small business owners, business/health coaches, spiritual directors/leaders, and people who are brand new to the coaching or business industries but love people and the Enneagram tool.

Level 1 and 2 are required for anyone to become certified. Level 3 is for those who either plan to build their own coaching practice OR already own their business, but feel like there are some cracks in the foundation. FOR OTHER PROFESSIONALS: If you're able to submit documentation showing you're trained throughly in helping/coaching skills, you can become certified without taking Level 2. Documentation includes: previous coaching certifications, licensure, MA in counseling degrees from an accredited university, etc.

Yes, and yes. We seek to be a highly inclusive and accessible program for anyone who desires to help others heal + grow using the Enneagram. In terms of payment plans, each Level allows for full-payment or a 3 or 6-month payment plan. The Bundle of all 3 Levels allows for full-payment, or a 6 or 12-month payment plan. And don't worry... you'll still get access to the full course immediately. Check out the "All Courses Page" to see each course - the payment options are at the bottom of each page. In 2022, we also launched a scholarship program in an effort to widen accessibility and to help diversify the Enneagram industry to be representative of human beings as a whole. There are limited scholarships each year, and priority is given to those who hold marginalized identities (POC, LGBTQ+, differently abled, religious minority, body shape/size, immigrant, etc.) or those who are graduate students. Note: not holding a marginalized identity or being a student will not prohibit you from receiving a scholarship. Please email team@theenneagramuniversity.com for the scholarship application. ***Also, it's not uncommon that we hear from technically certified coaches from other programs who are struggling to find or keep clients. You deserve to feel competent and confident in the work you do AND get paid to live out your passion and dream. That's why we offer 15% off the entire EU program for those who are technically certified but are knowingly ill-equipped. Email us at the email address above if that's you.

After completing Levels 1 and 2, each student will submit an Application for Certification, sit through a (non-scary, we promise) interview with Kristi. We'll make sure you feel competent and confident enough to hit the (metaphorical) streets, and Kristi will answer any questions you have. If you're ready to launch, a Certificate of Certification will be delivered to you, along with an "EU certified" badge/logo to add to your website, business cards, and other marketing material. A coaches congratulations kit will find its way to your front door soon after :)

Absolutely! As you complete material + quizzes, additional lessons will unlock. In Level 2, there is a group component, and you'll be required to attend 6 out of 8 sessions. (Most students attend all 8 because it's that valuable.) As far as time commitment, Level 1 is roughly 15 hours. Level 2 is roughly 10, plus the 8-week group experience. Level 3 is about 8 hours. This does not include the time you spend fulfilling the "Funwork" at the end of each lesson. That time is completely up to you. While we highly recommend it, and remind students that what you put into your program is what you'll get out of it, no one will be checking on your completion or your implementation. Some coaches who have their head-down and full-focus available complete the program in a month. Others move through slowly over a year. It's totally up to you.

We've found that community and access to support to be a massive differentiator between students + coaches who thrive and those who struggle and sometimes close up shop altogether. Therefore, community is a massive pillar of the EU certification program. There are three ways we offer connection: 1. Monthly calls on Zoom that new students and long-term certified coaches join. They're a blend of teaching + coaching/business tips, as well as a place to brainstorm together, collab with others doing the same work, and a safe place to ask questions about the Enneagram, coaching/clients, or business. 2. We have a private Facebook community you can access 24/7 for resources, questions, celebration, and accountability. 3. EU has additional professors whose full-time gig is to support you both personally and professionally during your program and after your graduation. This 1-1 support is a bonus add-on you can purchase at any point in the program. (Options 1 + 2 are included in your initial investment and cost nothing additional.) Professors include Chichi Agorom, MA, and author of The Enneagram for Black Liberation, and Ally Ines, business + mindset master helping coaches uplevel every corner of their work.

Great question - let me, Kristi, answer this one directly. EU is not an accredited program, and we made that as an intentional decision. A lot of accreditations like IEA and ICF require extensive training by me and my other instructors that, with respect, I find unnecessary. Under an accreditation like IEA, every instructor would be required to do their program of several hundred hours and the courses/coaching I offer would need to be approved. As a business owner, I want the freedom to hire who I find to be qualified and offer the services my students and clients seek. Additionally, and maybe more importantly, I've never had a single client ever ask me who I was accredited by, nor have any of my close colleagues in the industry. I'm sure you know - with the online space, we build our clientele through our empathy and authority, and clients hire us who view us as competent. So to be real honest, I don't feel an accreditation adds value for how it limits me as a business owner and limits the instructors and courses I offer for EU.

We are the only program on the market that offers these three essential components: Enneagram Wisdom, Coaching Skills, Business Building Skills. Additionally, with my background and Masters Degree in mental health therapy, I am especially equipped to train coaches in how to help their clients make serious transformation. Additionally, many other programs require extensive in-personal training and can add up into a massive financial investment. This program is built to be virtual, convenient, and affordable while still prioritizing high standards of excellence, so you're more than qualified by the time you graduate.

We're thankful this has never happened :) but just in case, every student will have a 7-day window after purchase for a full refund if they're unhappy. Just shoot us an email at team@theenneagramuniversity.com if you have a problem.
