• Access to a dedicated workspace for certification participants with specific content to guide you throughout the entire process.
• A visual tracker that shows where you are in the process and what remains to be completed.
• A personalized Action Learning Portfolio.
• A platform where you can seek feedback from peers and stakeholders.
• Dedicated support through discussion board chat and email.

Your ABSC Practitioner Certification pathway culminates in an action learning project of your choice where you apply the methods, tools and space holding capacities learned in programs to your own context. On the Certification Workspace, you will find a framework for you to document your activities and engage in guided reflection on your learning. 

Please note, your final Action Learning Project is a different project from those you did during the programs, but it can be a new iteration of an earlier project.

In the Action Learning Project Portfolio page, you will upload photos or videos of your application experience and share your learning reflections with us. You will be guided through the process on your personal, online portfolio tool. 

You can only start your Action Learning Project submission after all required programs have been completed. Once you have started, you have up to 2 years to complete and submit your project.

When you have completed your Action Learning Project Portfolio submission, you will submit it for verification. This is the final step of the ABSC Practitioner Certification Process. Projects are reviewed monthly and you will receive an email when yours has been reviewed and verified. Once your Action Learning Project Portfolio has been verified, you will be issued your Certificate.

• The work submitted in the action learning portfolio documents a full Theory U journey incorporating the tools and methods learned throughout the certification pathway (as outlined in the action learning portfolio tool).
• The action learning portfolio documents a systemic change initiative implemented within the last two years, focused on one or more acupuncture points: Soil, Food & Climate Justice; Education & Learning; Business & Entrepreneurship; Money & Finance; Data & Technology; Consumption & Planetary Well-Being; Health & Well-Being; Governance & Democracy.
• Progress is documented by capturing your implementation of the core processes in photo, video or pdf and uploading them into your action learning portfolio tool. In addition, you provide a written reflection for each part of the process in response to the question provided for that method.

Please note that this certification does not entitle you to represent the u-school for Transformation and/or the Presencing Institute, to use our brand, or to be displayed on our website. It does certify you to be formally recognized as a quality-level Practitioner of Awareness-Based Systems Change processes, methods and tools, and to apply these in your own context.
