About the Course

Successful Completion of The PartnershipProjects Accreditation Module (AM) makes NVR Practitioners eligible for Accreditation with The NVR Association (NVRA Level 3); the professional body that regulates and accredits NVR practice in the UK. Individuals are then able to use the title ‘NVRA Accredited Practitioner’*. This is the highest level of NVR qualification available in the UK.

The AM will be facilitated by two Accredited Practitioners / Trainers / Supervisors who have considerable experience of applying NVR with families and in a variety of settings. The module consists of up to 10 x 3 hour evening seminars that take place weekly online (an additional 2-hour first week introduction session and a 1-hour ending session are optional) . Each cohort will be made up of no less than 7 and no more than 10 practitioners. In order to join the AM individuals should have already successfully completed the PartnershipProjects Advanced Certificate in NVR Practice (NVRA Level II) which includes the coursework component: see full information here on Evaluation & Certification: https://www.partnershipprojectsuk.com/training-workshops/booking-evaluation-certification/

Each participant is invited to deliver a 45-minute presentation to the group that demonstrates their competence in applying the principles of NVR within their setting.  Each participant will be allocated a separate week on which to present. We encourage participants to be creative in the way that they present their work which could include video or live interview with a client where relevant / possible. The presentation should focus on an area of application that is of special interest to the practitioner.

The participant (and client if relevant) will be interviewed by the facilitators in front of the group and there will be a reflective team discussion and an ending with whole group feedback. The whole process should take no more than 3 hours.

Before completion of the Accreditation Module each participant will be required to write a blog post, based on the central theme of their presentation that can be published on the PartnershipProjects website.

* ‘Acccredited Practitioner’ status does not include accreditation as an NVR supervisor or NVR trainer (of professionals). 

To lodge your interest in future Accreditation Modules please contact us at:  am@partnershipprojectsuk.com 

Who should apply for the Accreditation Module:

Any practitioner who meets the entry requirements and who is interested in deepening their learning and understanding of NVR as an approach through presenting and reflecting on their work and that of their colleagues.

Enjoyed hearing other professionals experiences and learning about their practice. Feedback was delivered in a positive and encouraging way. I found it really helpful when others mentioned additional resources – re Uri Weinblatt, Shila briefly mentioning the work she does with couples. Maybe, at times it would be interesting for facilitators to expand on such issues when the opportunity arises based on what is being presented as I would have been keen to hear more details. I do found the 3 hours rather hard going. I do wonder if reflections could be shortened a little – sometimes it felt a bit like pressure to come up with something to fill the time

really liked learning from peers and hearing creative and different applications of NVR in different ways. richness and creativity in ways to use NVR – in systems and with families and individuals. encouragement to keep persisting. Particularly helpful to hear presentation around NVR in schools as this helped spur me on to persist with working with schools.

This training was an enriching experience to connect with different professionals. It was useful both to share how I use NVR as well as hearing from everyone else in the group as to how they use NVR in their work context and settings. The smaller and wider reflective parts to the session further supported my learning and reflections around the use and practice of NVR.

it was really good to hear the work others are doing and share ideas and learning. it also brought us together as a group of practitioners with a shared interest, passion to help each other grow in our knowledge and understanding. will take away much in relation to ways and skills to support families and staff in their growth within using NVR. the facilitators were all very supportive and thoughtful and reflective

I felt it flowed really well. I’m not sure anything needs to be changed. It was helpful that you asked each presenter whether they would you to manage timing.

It was very beneficial to hear a host of positive feedback on the work. The fact that people came from such different settings with a wide range of experience made it extra valuable, thought provoking and expanding. It definitely helped me feel more creative and inspired, buzzing with ideas. I needed this!

I would have valued some group discussion time, although I appreciate this doesn’t quite fit with the model. There were some ideas, resources, strategies that I would have liked to discuss in more detail. It was such a rich experience, I was eager to make the most of it.

Other people’s presentations were a goldmine and very interesting to gain a new perspective. Also, I enjoyed being in the feedback team! I found the facilitators’ feedback and questions to each presentation very interesting too. I learnt a lot.

The reflective team contributions were thought provoking and encouraging. I was able to give more consideration to the impact of my relationship with the client and how this impacted on her ability to remain steadfast.

I invited a parent to join the session and ran overtime with my presentation. It would have helped to have more guidance on the process and an earlier reminder prompt during the presentation.

I liked the presentations and the way the facilitators were able to draw links to aspects of NVR principles and research

Having the immediate reflective team made the discussion rich and continued to develop / embellish ideas generated in the presentation further. Posing questions to the reflective team in advance was helpful in shaping discussions.

Online aspect made it accessible for me in terms of work / life balance. I loved meeting people from different walks of life. The facilitators provided the balance of knowledge and support, making the environment safe, encouraging and informative.

it was lovely to hear everyone’s feedback and gave me not only confidence in the work that I do but also the opportunity to listen to ideas and share my journey and look at different perspectives.

I loved being able to share all of our NVR journeys and learning about everyone’s different experiences within NVR and meeting and sharing ideas with one another and meeting other NVR legends

It was good to get reassurance, different perspectives and feel amongst peers. I think overall it was good to feel supported – I can’t recall specifics of what was said.

Some of the presentations were incredible and being amongst peers and making new friends was wonderful.

It validated what I am doing and gave a broader perspective and reframe some things, generally gave me a greater insight. It is nice to hear the reflections of the facilitators and the reflective team, as well as broadening it out to the whole group.

Offered a richness to the process, valued hearing others thoughts and appreciative comments.

Although online worked I would have valued the opportunity to connect face to face …looking forward to an opportunity during other events in partnership projects.

It was such an experience to connect with other like minded people who share the passion of NVR .Each week was such rich learning experience .
