A certificate of completion indicates that an individual gained knowledge by finishing a course or a series of courses. Learning events offered by TFSX (i.e. Foundations in Natural Foresight® (previously Applied Foresight Accelerator) and Activations in Natural Foresight® (previously Applied Foresight Activator) provide a certificate of completion.
However, certification is a more rigorous and valuable achievement where individuals apply for and receive a credential. To earn such a designation, there are education and experience requirements alongside successfully passing an assessment. Certification also requires a practitioner that earns the credential to recertify, ensuring continuous learning and development in the field.
