There are over 100 Aware Parenting instructors in 27 countries who teach the philosophy of Aware Parenting described in Aletha Solter's six books.
There are three levels of certification: Level 1, Level 2, and regional coordinator. The regional coordinators are advanced Level 2 instructors who are allowed to certify new instructors in their regions. This page lists countries with at least one instructor. Only the Level 2 instructors and regional coordinators are listed here. Click on the country links for more information.
Requirements for becoming a Level 1 instructor (basic certification requirements)
Requirements for becoming a Level 2 instructor (advanced certification requirements).
The Aware Parenting instructors work independently. They are neither employees nor subcontractors of the Aware Parenting Institute. Their advice should be carefully evaluated for your personal situation. Aletha Solter and the Aware Parenting Institute shall have neither liability nor responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any damage caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, by any advice from these instructors. Furthermore, Aware Parenting certification does not include permission to give medical advice or to do therapy with adults or children (although some of the Aware Parenting instructors have additional credentials as medical professionals or psychotherapists). If you consult with them for anything other than Aware Parenting information and support, please check their credentials and references, as you would for any other professional.
