How It Works
- - - - - - - - - -

For organizations looking to maximize the impact of Cause Mapping RCA, we highly recommend our Cohort CFP. This option allows up to five candidates to complete certification together, providing the benefit of group collaboration, real-time coaching, and streamlined scheduling. It’s the most cost-effective and efficient way to develop a team of skilled facilitators within your organization.

The program is self-paced, but candidates generally complete certification within three months. Each participant will have dedicated time with an instructor to refine their skills, apply the methodology, and receive feedback on their progress.

Individual applications for CFP (i.e., not part of a company cohort) are considered on a limited basis, with availability based on capacity and demand.
