Content:

The education program is a patchwork between teaching, exercises, films and examples, as well as the work with own film material from your practice. You are presented with the basic assumptions in the solution-focused approach just as we review the many techniques for engaging others in conversations. You will get acquainted with, how the solution-focused approach understand problems and practice, basic assumptions that distinguish the solution focused approach from other approaches in the field. Alongside this, and to support the theoretical element, you will work with the client's preferred future, the various types of questions, scales and other solution-focused principles and techniques.

Examination & Certification:

1) You upload a recording of solution-focused practice from your everyday life and that you believe represents what you have learned at DLI. In order to pass the examination, you must demonstrate that you have the ability to engage others in conversation about how life looks when the problem has diminished through solution-focused methods. To ensure the learning and development perspective, the feedback is built up in ways that lead to three or four questions or statements that allow you to work on the work you have chosen to present as your exam project.

2) Next, you formulate the ideas and reflections that follow from the first part of the examination. Thus, the examination not only evaluates your knowledge of and use of basic solution-focused principles and techniques, but also your ability to reflect on one's own practice in a solution-focused framework.

Accreditation is given by documented 100-hour solution-focused practice within one year, received supervision as required at the current Level and passed the exam. To ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve this, one can go to the exam at 2 different times within a 3 month period. Thus, each level can range from 6 to 9 months.

What did others said:

I have had the great pleasure of taking the training as a Solution Focused Practitioner in Coaching and Therapy at the Danish Solution-Focused Institute. For me it has been like becoming part of some kind of miracle cure. It is written without exaggeration, because the Judy in me does not allow it. I have thus experienced my everyday practice in my job as a mentor and teacher in a job center becoming easier, more manageable and less stressful. With very few changes - using the techniques I have acquired through the training - my dialogues with both citizens and colleagues have changed from being sometimes draining and tiring to becoming uplifting and with a focus on resources, hope and the future.

For me, it is paramount to my commitment to an education that it makes sense when it comes to putting it into practice. The training as a Solutionfocused Practitioner has fully fulfilled this. I heartily recommend the training to anyone who works with people and who wants to become even better at their job.

I chose the training because I wanted more structure and flow in my conversations - more quality and a direction that could give the person I sat opposite some energy to create concrete changes for themselves. I find that I have got far more handles to pull on, and I have got much more structure and continuity in the conversations.

I have been given many tools that I can use in different situations, and I feel much more equipped to conduct interviews. At the same time, I myself have also become better at spotting my successes and examining how I might have behaved

As a student at the Danish Solution-Focused Institute, I have experienced Anne-Marie as a teacher who has ambitions for the student not only to acquire knowledge but also to know her subject corresponding to the level she is studying at. It is a safe and good feeling to have been in the game in practice when the exam is approaching.

Anne-Marie and other teachers at DLI have established a challenging teaching course which places demands on the individual and the group, while there has been room for individual needs. Anne-Marie and DLI get my best recommendations
