Certified Eden Spain Educators

Eden Alternative SPAIN Certified Educators are authorized to facilitate the Certified Eden Associate curricula, certifying individuals to become Eden Associates. Certified Eden Spain Educators are individuals who have completed extensive training and demonstrate an exceptional knowledge of person-centered/person-directed care and the Eden principles. They have demonstrated experience/understanding in putting them into practice.  Certified Eden Spain Educators may only certify Eden Associates working directly through Eden Alternative Spain.  Contact us if you are interested in learning more.  

Once an organization is committed to becoming a Certified Eden Organization, a few employees from the organization may become Certified Eden Educators for their organization.  Then they are prepared to certify their colleagues as Eden Associates (as well as new employees joining the organization).  This creates the opportunity for ongoing education and certification of employees (and other organizational stakeholders) throughout the organization.
