This feels like a one-size-fits-all course, but I'm not really sure it works to have scripts in a course like this, it should be giving methods and ideas.
I think that repeating everything the client says word for word, which it advises at certain points, will just annoy the client. If someone didn't have any further training and experience of how to work with people and basic counselling skills, I don't necessarily think this course would work for them.
There are also mistakes in the written course material.
i have downloaded i think 2 quizzes, answered them, uploaded in the cloud but the accomplishment rate has not changed. and so i have to re-type the answers
A lot of solid, important information, but the text is too long and wordy, and it lacks visuals, which doesn't help individuals to retain the information.
The content is fine but how to apply it is still doubt
I still don't understand or don't know how to apply this knowledge with clients.
Who is the clients?
How to treat them?
What this the beneftit that them might get?
Will it be a workshop or training and how to do so?
As someone who holds a BA in Communication, Behavioral Sciences, I felt this course didn't provide enough detail for the student. They need to add more engaging, challenging, and interactive coursework. The typos are numerous. If you're a beginner, wanting to get a start on understanding this type of career path, it's a good introduction.
The information in the course is good but as a visual and hands on learner the recording and the text is quite tedious. I get more out of the video that follows where I can kind of summarise what has been taught. I am looking forward to continuing though as it is a interesting subject :)
I took the Sylvotherapy Practitioner Certification Course. For an introductory course it was a good value at 70% off but I have several caveats. This is an introduction only and as such I was bothered by the last module focusing on how to advertise and start up a business. You could quite literally be incapable of identifying any tree species in your area before setting up a business. I feel it would have been much more efficient to focus on the role a guide takes and how to facilitate sessions with a diverse population of clients, what being trauma informed means, practicalities of running courses in the woods, off trail, on trail, on public land, on private property, etc, the importance of first aid training, the importance of indigenous local to you tree and forest lore, safe foraging protocols...I could go on. Give us fully cited readings and a bibliography of books to read early on in the course. A lot of the info is from books over 20 years old and/or problematic books that have been challenged both scientifically and by Indigenous communities. The last module really should have laid out the areas that people needed to address as continuing education before they started selling their services. There's a valid reason why without the educational credentials you can't touch the term "therapist" where I live and this will not qualify you to use it. Still with my own background as an educator, with art therapy trainingm and as a wildcrafter with over 30 years experience I did get ideas about transforming my outdoor forest school experiences into things I can share multi-generationally as well as with people in hospice which is what I wanted to be able to do.
I find it frustrating when things are referenced but not described. An example would be the meridians. If it is important enough to include, then there should be more information. The exhaustive list of meridians without any diagrams renders it useless. Are we supposed to memorize all of the names, but not know where they are? If someone hasn't done a lot of study already, several of the references don't mean anything. The course should be fully self-contained, which means I don't have to consult other resources to understand what is presented.
Most of this is very tactical, and very coach-led (I prefer a co-created approach). Occasionally the language will refer to the soul, the inner being, but again with very tactical cognitive language that I find jarring. The scripts are also universally convenient in their outcome - there's no mention of what the coach should do when their experience doesn't follow the script.
Having trained in coaching I'm find this interesting for ideas on how to run a coaching business, but I'm glad I'm not reliant on the coaching elements of it to be successful.
Lots a good information for plant references, but not what I was expecting. I expected more information/guidance on setting up and delivering a forest therapy session.
The material is mostly written which is quite dry to get through. There is a summary video but honestly the course isn't all that helpful or what I was expecting. It's hard to see how you could apply any of this info as a coach.
