Thorough, Knowledgeable, and Enjoyable
The depth of knowledge that Sterlin and Aaron have, combined with wisdom and experience, make this one of the best courses out there. I have learned so much and am excited to continue with Level 2 and then 3. Empathy Architects are personable, relatable and inclusive. Highly recommended whether you have goals of using the certification or whether you just want to know as much as you can for your own gratification.”

Providing serious students of the Enneagram with the knowledge, tools, and skills to accurately and empathetically utilize the Enneagram to help facilitate personal and professional growth
Enneagram Certification Level I
100% self paced and on demand
-
Level 1 gives serious Enneagram seekers a strong understanding of the dynamic nature of the Enneagram and provided contextual history of how the system and the types themselves have evolved since the 1960s. Level 1 will teach you important concepts such as the lines of connection, wing theory, the three instinctual types, and Enneagram Trifix theory (the idea that we have one type in each center). This training level is essential for anyone wanting to teach or understand themselves, others and the Enneagram itself with a deeper level of confidence and understanding, and prepare you for the deeper and more intricate material presented in Levels 2 and 3.
*Note that Level I Certification is an introductory level certification, and that to qualify for the title of “Advanced Teacher,” a Level II teaching certification must be completed after demonstrating competency of Level 1 concepts.
Curriculum
-
This live virtual 2-hour required foundation course will provide students with a thorough roadmap for how to understand the Enneagram in the context of its history and its conceptualization by Oscar Ichazo as a “trialectic” and dynamic system based on the universal Law of Three and the Law of Seven. Additionally, this course will explain the centers of intelligence, lines of connection, wings, and the Enneagram Trifix theory.
-
These live classes are recorded so students can watch on their own time. This class will break down the 3 centers (head, heart and gut) of the Enneagram in greater detail providing a rich understanding of each center as conceptualized by Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. Each centers class will then provide an advanced description of each of the nine types and exemplars for each type. Each centers class is 3-hours and will be presented in recorded videos with exercises for reflection.
-
The instinctual types of the Enneagram personality model is an integral part of understanding the Enneagram system overall. This video course discusses each of the three instinctual types; social, self preservation, and sexual types in greater detail. Students will learn how each instinct presents itself in the human condition and how to recognize the instinctual types in ourselves and others.
-
Trifix, in the Enneagram system, is the theory to describe the use of one type in each center of intelligence; the head, the heart, and the gut. Understanding our main type is important in our journey to self-discovery but we must also understand how the other two types interact to create our Trifix Archetype. This video explains the Trifix theory and how to understand and work with Trifix in addition to outlining the 27 Trifix Archetypes.
-
We include an optional 1-hour Q&A session for all level I students!
To finish the process, we will issue an official certificate stating your completion in level I of the program
