Overview
The International Enneagram Association is the global body that accredits Enneagram training programs. They also offer their own credentialing pathway — a portfolio-based process where you compile approved training hours, supervised practice, and peer review into a credential application. It's less of a course and more of a professional credentialing framework. Best for people who've already studied the Enneagram significantly and want the IEA's stamp of approval on their expertise.
