The Solution: The INIFAC Partners in Facilitator Development

Internal Assessment to Develop Your Facilitators

External Assessment to Certify Your Top Performers


The International Institute for Facilitation (INIFAC) oversees the Certified Master Facilitator Program – the highest certification available for the profession. This rigorous assessment rates facilitators across six competency areas that include 30 detailed sub-competencies.

Through the Partners in Facilitator Development Program, INIFAC is now offering organizations the opportunity to use the INIFAC assessment model to guide and support the development of their own people. Using the INIFAC materials, organizations can implement an internal Facilitator Development Program to assess their facilitators and track their progress through a range which extends from apprentice to advanced facilitator. Those facilitators achieving the highest assessment level are then eligible to submit their materials to INIFAC – your partner in facilitator development – for external review to qualify as Certified Master Facilitators!
