Introducing AEquacy to organizations, developing organizational culture, supporting organization design and behavior change in order to ensure an effective and sustainable transition to AEquacy, require a mix of specific knowledge and competences.
We developed the AEquacy Facilitation Certification Program that takes you step by step to the level of competence needed, whether you are an internal or external practitioner supporting a team to implement some of the AEquacy practices and tools, or someone wanting to accompany a whole organization to shift to AEquacy.
The AFCP (AEquacy Facilitation Certification Program) offers two levels of certification:
Certified AEquacy Practitioner (CAP):
This level of certification includes the participation to a one- day AEquacy Taster and one three-day highly experiential workshop. The program introduces in detail the philosophy of AEquacy , the key elements of self-organization and specific tools and practices.
This level of certification is particularly suitable for employees of organizations moving to AEquacy, or interested in applying some AEquacy principles and practices in their organizations, or consultants/coaches who wish to apply some of the AEquacy-related practices and tools autonomously with their clients. Read below for further information on what is covered and enabled by this level of certification.
Certified AEquacy Facilitator (CAF):
This level of certification consists of three highly experiential workshops of three days each, and builds on the first level of certification (CAP) by deep diving into all the main elements of AEquacy and introducing other tools and methodologies.
This level of certification is particularly suitable for employees of organizations moving to AEquacy, or consultants/coaches who wish to implement the full AEquacy design to teams or whole organizations. Read details below for further information on what is covered and enabled by this level of certification. CAFs also qualify for the AEquacy Licensing Program.
Licensing Program
Certified AEquacy Facilitators entering an AEquacy Licensing Program are allowed to promote, sell and deliver all AEquacy services including AEquacy Transition facilitation, AEquacy Public Tasters, AEquacy workshops and presentations.

Buzz about the training:
Ana Belen Manzano
“The AEquacy Facilitation Certification Program was a great opportunity to question how organizations and teams work. It opens your eyes to completely different ways of approaching work in the organization by a deep understanding of all the criteria, rules, organizational methods, mindsets that effectively make the organization based on self-organizing teams run without hierarchy. It is a total overturn that forces you to think, to reflect, to ask questions and to find new answers. The most beautiful thing is that as you go through this shift of perspective, and gradually grasp all the pieces, and connect them, and understand them in depth, at a certain point you see the new perspective clearly and the thought is “it cannot fail to work”! It generates a great energy, enthusiasm, and desire to put AEquacy into practice. Also Giovanna and Stefano accompany you step by step with care, dedication and patience to help you understand AEquacy in depth with many examples and practical cases that make it possible to make everything concrete, assimilable and applicable ”.
