➡️ No prerequisite is set by the association to facilitate (we recommend you to have a strong experience as a voluntary facilitator - if you wish to offer trainings, you will have to be a minimum of a green belt).
It is not not mandatory to be trained with the 7-hour professional training to start offering your services in a professional context. If you only followed the 3-hour training, you can check the materials for the 7-hour training in the resources of the pro page.
