CCBE Program Information
A brief outline of the steps and timing necessary to become a
Certified Practitioner of Core Belief Engineering
The CCBE Practitioner Certification Program offers a unique opportunity to experience and learn the Core Belief Engineering change processes as well as develop skills necessary to practice them safely, effectively and creatively.
The program includes a mix of lectures, classroom activities, one-on-one mentoring and self-paced, self-directed work – which is helpful if you are holding down another job or supporting a family. The maximum time allowed to complete the program is five and a half years; though it can be finished in less time by those who focus their efforts.
Completing the first five levels, (the Basic Course, the Practitioner Intensive, the Intern Distance Practicum, the Advanced Level 1 Course and the one-on-one Intern Practitioner Tutorial Evaluation) gets you to the Associate Practitioner level which authorizes you to conduct a private practice and charge professional fees. This has been done in less than 20 months by students who were able to focus their time and effort. The Associate Practitioner Practicum and the Advanced Level 2 Course lead to the one-on-one Professional Tutorial Review which qualifies you as a Certified Practitioner. There are approximately 590 classroom or one-on-one mentoring hours and a minimum of 500 hours of self-directed study and application of skills.
The CCBE educational programs are accredited by the PCTIA under the National Occupation Code of Counseling. Core Belief Engineering Ltd. has been a member of the BC Career Colleges Association (BCCCA) since 2007.
