Agency Application Process for Program Approval

  • The organizer of these training programs may apply for them to be Approved by SIP using the SIP Approved Program Application Form (see forms below). This means SIP approves the content as congruent with SIP’s current understanding of the Satir Model and the competency of the trainer to deliver it. Participants may receive Certificates of Completion from the organizer countersigned by SIP.
  • Organizations that receive approval will be able to use the words “This program is Approved by the Satir institute of the Pacific” on their own internal certificates and include the SIP logo.
  • For an additional fee of $10 per participant receiving a certificate of completion, organizations may send their certificates to SIP to receive the SIP’s official seal and the signature of either or both the Director of Training and the President of the Satir Institute of the Pacific.
