It could have been half the duration and 2 modules could have been taken out. You can decide on which ;-)
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.
It could be shorter and more to the point.
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.
It is ok but would be better if it was interactive with videos its a bit boring just reading or audio and it quite text heavy.
I think the training would be more user friendly if had power point form with the print of the most important concepts.
The information is very thorough and condensed. I would have wished for more models that can be applied to coaching clients, but overall, I enjoyed it.
So fas so good
es bueno pero las preguntas de los quiz deben de ser mas cerradas
I am 3 modules in and it's a LOT of reading and this isn't my best learning process--I haven't tried the audio yet, but I will check it out. I purchased the Neuroscience Coach Cert course but it also included the automatic client enrollment super system modules, which is what I am currently beginning with, but I am uncertain if this is part of the Neuroscience course or a free course they tossed in--I don't really need it.
The content in this course is great. I expected to have videos with instructors teaching, using powerpoint and other media. This course is presented via PDFs that you can read or listen to audio of someone reading it. So, it is a little dry / boring from that perspective.
