The accreditation of the certified R&W trainer (obtained by following the three-day R&W Basic Training) is valid for four years. Within four years, one must participate in a Refresher Day or one of the specialization training courses to maintain accreditation. This is important in several respects:
- Reviewing what you learned during the 3-day (Why do we do what we do?);
- Retraining some basic exercises under the guidance of an experienced Master trainer (Are you still using the correct techniques?);
- Being aware of the latest developments;
– in the field of new theories, insights and/or research
– in the field of the Rock and Water program - Being able to ask questions and obtain advice from the Rock and Water Institute (What are you encountering? Do you need help?);
- The opportunity to interact with fellow trainers;
- Learning any new working methods.
The content of the Refresher Day consists of well-known exercises with a variation and is regularly adjusted based on experiences and feedback from trainers, students, research and new insights and effective working methods.
If this requirement is not met, the Rock & Water trainer in question will be listed as inactive in the Rock and Water database and clients can be notified upon request (school board, parents, etc.). The Rock and Water Institute maintains a database.
