We very much value that our competency model FACETS� continues to be ‘road-tested’ by facilitators interested in their own development and accreditation. The model reflects the fact that facilitation is not merely a one dimensional activity, but has multiple and interrelated layers.
Those seeking accreditation are invited to add competencies that are meaningful for their work and assess themselves against these as well as our core competencies. In addition, we value how the FACETS� framework enables participants to choose how to self-assess and we enjoy seeing a variety of Accreditation Statements and Portfolios produced according to each facilitator’s style.
F A C E T S is designed as an acronym which signifies six key areas that we consider to be central to both the skill level and character of practitioners. Thus FACETS� also provides a framework for assessing and guiding personal and professional development.
The six FACETS of Facilitation are:
- Facilitation
- Awareness
- Contracting
- Ethics
- Theory
- Support

This includes self-reflective questions which will give you a flavour of how we work and a sense of how the value of accreditation with us is not just in the label, but also in the process.
“FACETS� provided such a helpful structure for accreditation, encompassing elements I might not have remembered or been able to articulate, but which are essential to my work.”
“It is refreshing to see self-care identified as a professional value within FACETS�.”
“I enjoyed being encouraged to reflect on my approach to facilitation and to think about the FACETS� capabilities. Even without the accreditation day, completing the portfolio has been valuable.
