Six to eight weeks online for trainer partners: one live session a week, practice on synthetic groups, and a capstone session with a real group. Completion certifies the trainer, and Exeter Labs issues the certification and the licence to run StepSim sessions.

Online, six to eight weeks
One a week
On synthetic groups, with feedback between sessions
One real session, run with a real group and observed
The trainer, on completion, against the StepSim facilitator standard
Exeter Labs, which licenses the trainer to run StepSim sessions
AIRS-J/1 participant certification, which is a separate assessment on StepSim, issued by AIR APAC under Section 12 of the Standard. No course awards that, and this programme does not shorten it

The client the trainer brings stays the trainer's
Facilitation and assessment stay apart

People who run workshops, capability programmes or team sessions and want a practice instrument to put inside them, under licence, in their own name and with their own client relationship intact.
This certifies a person to facilitate StepSim sessions, and nothing else. It is not the AIRS-J/1 assessment, it does not make anyone an assessor, and it confers nothing on the people a facilitator works with.
Material to work through between sessions, and one live session a week on a fixed weekday. The length depends on how many sessions a facilitator needs before the capstone.
Facilitators run the missions on groups that are not their own clients, with feedback between sessions. Nothing is practised on a real client's people until the capstone.
The final session is the real thing: a real group, run by the candidate, observed. That is what the certification rests on.
This is the one place in the training arm where the word certifies is used of a course. It is a facilitator certification issued by Exeter Labs, and it licenses the holder to run StepSim sessions. It is not the AIRS-J/1 participant certification, which is issued by AIR APAC under Section 12 of the Standard after a separate assessment on StepSim.
A certified facilitator may run StepSim sessions inside their own programmes. The licence is issued by Exeter Labs at the same time as the certification.
Trainers who bring a client keep that client. AIR APAC and Exeter Labs do not market around a trainer to the client that trainer brought.
A facilitator who has trained someone does not assess that person for certification. Practice never awards a certifying result, and no session outcome enters the certifying item bank.
Tell us what you deliver today, to whom, and where. We answer about the facilitator programme, and nothing else, through the contact route. The fee is not published here: it is proposed and not yet ruled on, and it is set out in the partner conversation.
No, and the two are kept apart on purpose. This certifies a person to facilitate a practice instrument, and it is issued by Exeter Labs. Certification under AIRS-J/1 is a separate assessment on StepSim, decided by AIR APAC under Section 12 of the Standard, and holding this programme certification neither grants it nor shortens it.
Because the fee is proposed and not yet ruled on. It is not withheld from a buyer who asks: it is simply not a published number yet, so it is not printed here.
No. The programme starts from the instrument and the missions, and the practice weeks are where a facilitator learns it. What the programme does assume is that you already run sessions with groups.
