IEA Accreditation Program

What is IEA Accreditation?

Beginning January 1, 2009, the IEA will offer an “accreditation” to teachers, training programs, and schools. The IEA accreditation will serve as a mark of excellence for teachers, trainings, and schools so that people within and outside the international Enneagram community will have a way of knowing that specific teachers, trainings programs, and schools have achieved a certain standard of quality in their Enneagram work and have formally agreed to adhere to the IEA’s ethical guidelines.

Reasons why:
  • To increasingly promote a high international standard of quality for all Enneagram teachers, training programs, and schools through establishing an accreditation that demonstrates the achievement of certain minimum standards of ethical Enneagram work.
  • To provide a way to communicate to the public that participating teachers, training programs, and schools meet certain minimum standards and agree to adhere to a specific set of ethical guidelines.
  • To reinforce to the public that the IEA is a self-regulating community that maintains a high level of standards worldwide for the teaching and communication of the Enneagram system by its members.

Who can get accredited by the IEA?

  • Individual Enneagram teachers and practitioners
  • Enneagram training programs
  • Enneagram schools

We are truly living in a "connected world," and as the Enneagram teaches, beneath the many superficial cultural differences that tend to separate us, we see that we are more alike than we ordinarily realize. The world today needs this message more than ever--that, from a spiritual perspective, "we are one." - Riso/Hudson
