A certificate proves that you are a qualified CEFE trainer. With the document, you can:

• Enrich your CV and get better career chances or market opportunities;
• Apply CEFE independently.

PLEASE NOTE THAT A SIMPLE CERTIFICATE DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO MAKE TOTS (Training of Trainer Courses)!

CEFE defines three distinct levels of certification. Altogether they reflect the career steps that a CEFE trainer can make.

LEVEL 1 – LOCAL CERTIFICATES
