CI Certification Renewal Form

Greetings, Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. We value your ongoing service as a Compassionate Inquiry® Certified Practitioner and your contributions to the International Compassionate Inquiry community.

As of September 2026, Certificates as a Compassionate Inquiry® Certified Practitioner are valid for three years, and will need to be renewed to maintain the benefits that come with being a certified practitioner.

The requirements for Certification Renewal include:

Practice and Supervision Requirements

These requirements are equivalent to the previous renewal requirements, redistributed across a three-year period.

  • At least 150 clinical practice hours over three years, with a minimum of 50 hours per year.
  • At least 4 supervision or mentoring sessions per year, for a total of 12 sessions over three years.
  • At least 50% of your supervision or mentoring sessions with an approved Compassionate Inquiry® Mentor.
  • Up to 50% of your supervision or mentoring sessions with either an  approved Compassionate Inquiry® Mentor or a clinical supervisor who is  not trained in Compassionate Inquiry®.

Session Review Materials

  • One recorded Compassionate Inquiry® session video, 30–50 minutes long.
  • Signed permission to video record the Compassionate Inquiry® session. Your client must be someone who is not trained in CI.
  • You must record the Zoom session "gallery view" OR record the session in such a way as to ensure that both you and your client can be seen simultaneously on the screen
  • A self-reflection letter with time codes, specific bullet-point comments, and questions about your session, maximum 1–2 pages.

If the initial video is inadequate, allowance for 1 more video submission is permitted, for a fee of $280 CAD.

Continuing Education and Professional Requirements

  • 30 Continuing Education credits completed within the three-year Certification Renewal period.
  • Proof of professional liability insurance, where available in your country.
  • Registration with a recognized professional body that has a Code of  Ethics and allows Compassionate Inquiry® to be included as a modality.
  • Confirmation that you are legally able to practise Compassionate  Inquiry® within your existing professional scope of practice and  location.

Application Fee

  • Payment of the $280 CAD Certification Renewal fee, subject to change. 

You have one more opportunity if after the first attempt you are not approved to re-certify. You may submit a second video within three months of being notified. If the applicant is still not certifiable, he/she/they will be recommended to participate in the 6-month Mentorship Program.

Proof of completion of at least 20 CE credits within the 2-year period is required for re-certification. The requirements for CE credits specific to CI are outlined in this link.
