At the end of the training workshops at each level it will be discussed with trainees how to carry out their practical field work in 'self training projects' which lead to accreditation.

FACILITATOR LEVEL practical self training/field work:

Apply the 3 dialogues / 8 guidelines in practice with 3 children of different age groups. Make notes with your observations about your own interactive experiences with the children in concrete situations. Have your own interaction with children filmed so that you can analyze it afterwards and practice identifying guidelines in action. Prepare a report by systematizing your notes and observations.

The next step is to implement the ICDP programme with a small group of caregivers. The agenda for the meetings with caregivers is described in the ICDP manual. It is important to use the checklist and to record the experience by writing a diary which is to be presented later to ICDP.

Accreditation -to become an ICDP qualified facilitator:

Facilitators need to be able to:

- Explain the main objectives of the programme and its methodology, as well as basic theory behind the programme.

- Show ability to work on promoting in caregivers a positive conception of children, by using the appropriate sensitization exercises.

- Demonstrate their ability to apply the interaction guidelines in practical work with children and caregivers.

- Explain the meaning of the 8 guidelines for good interaction, and of the 7 principles of sensitizing by giving practical examples from their field work.

- Give a satisfactory report about their self-training projects.

- When possible, make video recordings of of own field work with children and caregivers and analyse it from the point of view of the programme.


ICDP issues certificates to those who have fulfilled the criteria for accreditation as facilitators and an agreement is signed with them for future cooperation.
