Study Material
The study material available to the student includes the workbook “7 Words Principles and Practices” and various articles on this web site, Ebooks on several topics, and the management textbook “Management Mastery”. On the 7 Words Associates social network, informal interactions between associates are backed up by discussion topics on the forum that joined or initiated. In addition to the various trainings, the main social activity takes place at the annual gathering in England during the summer.
Approved Training
From time to time there are training courses that offer a depth study into the 7 Words technology. These can be led by guides and certified practitioners - although only guides can actually give certification, and this usually takes place at the annual gathering. Currently the UK based training is suspended until September 2009 during the sabbatical of a major leader, although you can get the first taste at Unicorn Camps in England this August.
The courses typically use the model of one weekend for each of the 7 words, and each has a completely different atmosphere. This is to help make the teaching more of a life experience than just a straightforward conceptual learning.
Distance Learning
To learn about this system is quite easy and quick, you simply need to read through the text provided on this site and perhaps buy an ebook. However if you want to master the technique as a life-changing process of empowerment, then you will need to study it properly by following a tutored course.
Such a course exists as a package of seven modules, which we are calling the DLP: Distance Learning Programme. Stage by stage you will be taken through the material and tested as to your comprehension. More than that, each module is capable of pushing you into a deeper need to examine your life circumstances and go through changes of a profound nature.
More
Course tutors need to satisfy the core group that they have a deep working knowledge of the material and can respond appropriately to students’ questions about emotional and spiritual issues arising, as well as their submissions.
A tutor normally stays with the process until completion, and their interaction with the student is monitored by a nominated supervisor, usually a guide. Any complaints arising about a tutor’s conduct will be addressed firstly by the guide, although in extreme cases the core group may be approached for clarification.
Fees
Currently the course of 7 modules is priced at the introductory and very modest level of £350 if paid in full in advance. This covers tuition and supervision only; the student will also need to purchase the workbook and may wish to join training courses and attend the annual gathering for which there are extra charges.
Free Mini Courses
The basic 7 Words features are explained in various free courses spanning 7 weeks, and focusing on different aspects like self awareness and so on.
