Testimonials
The competency-based consultant certification framework helps me to stay focused on my professional development. I find it very motivating to have clearly defined competencies and guidelines in my domain that show me where I still need improvement and in which categories I can feel more confident to help others.
― Eszter, a mentee
As a mentor, I find CBC provides a good, solid structure: guidelines that are clear but not too rigid. Working together with the mentee, we can choose or design activities suitable for the individual to progress towards competency and accreditation!
― Michael, a mentor
