3Practice Circle Referee Training
Mostly, we train 3Practice Circle Referees in real-time Open + Private Zoom Cohorts
Occasionally, we train Refs in nine-hour, in-person intensives
In special instances, we train one-to-one
We prefer real-time training because, as in 3Practice Circles, we relish learning as a team sport
In six real-time training sessions over three weeks, our Zoom-based cohorts explore the secrets that make Circles work. That’s followed by two coached practicum circles that get new Refs ready to convene and lead 3Practice Circles — in-person and online — for the communities, organizations, and institutions they serve.
Here’s the Zoom Cohort Overview:
Six Live Training Sessions
Sessions meet on Zoom — about two hours per class
Session 01 - 3Practice Circle Leadership Rundown

Private Zoom Cohorts are scheduled to fit the calendar and timetable of the organizations, institutions, and businesses that book the training.
In-Person Intensives bring Ref training to your institution, organization, or conference.
One-to-One Training is available for people who, for whatever reason, can’t join a real-time training cohort. Ask us for details.

Some Frequently Asked Questions about Circle Leader Training
FAQ: What’s the difference between Private and Open 3Practice Circle Leader Training Cohorts?
Open cohorts mix individuals and small teams. The upside is cross-pollination with folks from other settings. Right now, we’re training four or five Open Cohorts a year.
Private Training Cohorts tailored to fit the schedules and use cases of individual organizations, institutions, and businesses. The upside, along with your choice of schedule, is organizational focus.
FAQ: Do you ever do asynchronous Trainings?
Yes. Under the right circumstances, we offer One-to-One Training. Ask us about the differences between real-time training cohorts and One-to-One training.
FAQ: What is the Circle Leader Training Practicum?
Following the six-session live Zoom training series, your Training Coach will work with you on a round of 3Practice Practicum Circles and coaching, during which you’ll lead Circles as both Head Referee and Co-Referee.
FAQ: Can I make money leading 3Practice Circles?
Sure. If you take money for leading 3Practice Circles outside your day job, we have a simple licensing formula following your certification.
