GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFIED BABYBRAINS TRAINERS
​BEFORE THE TRAINING:
​
A degree and/or experience in the following areas, namely Psychology, Neuroscience, Education, are welcome but not necessary in order to be considered suitable to access BabyBrains® trainings.
If the candidate doesn't possess any of the mentioned degrees or experience, a CV or a cover letter has to be sent to BabyBrains via our Contact Form. According to these documents, the BabyBrains® Direction has the right to accept or refuse the incoming subscriptions.
​
All candidates have to read the following books, before the beginning of the trainings:
- Why love matters, Sue Gerhards (available in libraries, bookshops and online)
- The scientist in the crib, by Alison Gopnik et al. (available in libraries, bookshops and online)
- Science and LOVE with BabyBrains by Silvia Dalvit (available in the subscription set).
DURING THE TRAINING:
​
All the training sessions have to be attended in person.
Exceptions to this rule are rare and have to be justified accordingly with specific reasons and/or skills (which have to be necessarily demonstrated). The training purpose is to share contents and nurture a rich exchange among all participants. During these sessions an active, respectful and sensitive participation is warmly encouraged.
​
AFTER THE TRAINING:
​
The trainees have to pass a test in order to upgrade to Certified Trainers.
The certification as "BabyBrains® Trainer" is received upon the success of the learning test.
The certificates are given during the Annual Conference (consequent to the certification) or sent as mail after the Conference itself.
ONCE CERTIFIED:
​
A BB Trainer is responsible for every aspect of the events that he/she organises.
​
A BB Trainer must conduct themselves as a representative of BabyBrains® in a professional manner, ensuring they are clear that they are a certified trainer and not an employee of BabyBrains®.
​
Every trainer is responsible for the custody and treatment of all collected personal data.
​
Before starting a workshop, every BabyBrains® trainer is responsible of collecting the signatures and the releases for free use of images through the register available in the related Trainer Zone. In case non-compliance with these duties, the workshop will not be recognised as a BabyBrains® official workshop.
Before starting the trainings, these are some key points and expectations to be aware taken from our official BabyBrains® Guidelines and Manual for Trainers.
​
Once you sign-up to our certified trainings, you will be provided with the full document to review and agree to prior to starting.
