Here we inform you about the details of our International Recognition.
Openness, Transparency, and Trust Building
The CI platform is built by Constellators for Constellators. We at CI believe in being open and transparent with our clients. They want to know about our professional qualifications when they are to decide whom to entrust with their issues.
Our professional qualification as Constellators is a combination of our “elderhood” state of mind, our expertise in the field we are working in, our qualification and experience as Constellators, and our ability to combine all that in our work.
To show what we’re made of as Constellators, we’ve created profiles with basic info for constellators, trainers, pieces of training, and events. We’ve also put together a recognition procedure that’ll give our clients all the info they need to decide who to trust.
As we’re looking at lots of different applications for our work, we’ve come up with a new way of recognising that’s more in line with the basic ideas of ISO quality management. The recognition procedure is just about the structure. There are no conditions attached to the content.
We call it the STRUCTURAL RECOGNITION PROCEDURE (SRP)
1. Our recognition process (SRP) lets us compare a Constellator’s professional qualifications, regardless of school, philosophy, or field of application. To reach a Practitioner level, you’ll need to prove you’ve done at least 90 hours of training.
2. The recognition process is based on a questionnaire that a big team of colleagues from all over the world helped us to put together. There’s nothing else out there in the international field that’s based on such a high level of constellation expertise and is so internationally recognised.
3. The CI review team does not decide on the quality of the Constellator. The team only checks that the diplomas and certificates prove the answers are correct.
4. We’ll publish the reviewed questionnaire in the profile to keep everyone in the loop. We’ll also add the international recognition emblem and the level of international recognition to the profile.
5. CI International Recognition will be updated each year, for example through new training, more experience, and new contributions.
6. We’re kicking off with International Recognition for Constellators, and we’ll be rolling out International Recognition for Trainers and Training later on.

Free Event Profiles
For every recognition you achieve (Constellator or Trainer), you get three profiles for events and training for free, that can be found by specific criteria by clients and colleagues.
Your event and training profiles thus act like detailed ads to promote your offer. For every ltraining we recognize, we’ll add another free event / training profile for you.
