The facilitator pathway.
A guide to the preparation described within the Philosophy of Synthesis, the limits of online course completion and the questions to confirm with organisers.
The pathway described in project materials.
This overview is not an official admissions or examination policy. Confirm current requirements with the relevant organisers.
- 01 · Foundational study
64 Synthesis seminars
The foundational sequence described by the method, with time to revisit sources and terminology. This is not a list of 64 currently published online courses.
- 02 · Professional study
Professional Synthesis
A further stage is described in project materials. The University has not yet verified a canonical registry establishing its complete seminar count.
- 03 · Sustained preparation
Study and practice over time
No exact duration is presented as a verified requirement. Confirm progression, timing and recognition of previous study with the organisers.
- 04 · Authorisation
A separate decision
Project descriptions refer to selection and organisational authorisation. The current decision-making bodies and procedure remain to be verified against an authoritative policy.
The professional-stage count, exact duration and authorisation procedure are still under source review. This page does not promise admission, recognition or a qualification.
A clear role for each contribution.
A source author creates original material. A translator or editor prepares an edition. A course educator teaches a defined subject. None of these roles alone establishes authorisation to lead Synthesis seminars.
Responsibilities in practice
- Identify the source and edition; distinguish original teaching from translation, examples and new exercises.
- Explain the format, conditions, access needs and teaching support offered.
- Respect critical questions, personal pace and the choice to withdraw.
- Keep philosophical education distinct from licensed treatment or regulated professional services.
- Protect learner privacy and obtain the necessary permissions for recordings and publication.
Before choosing your route.
Does completing the seminar sequence make me a facilitator?
No. Completing online editions, attending seminars or helping with editorial work does not itself grant facilitator status. Current selection requirements and the responsible decision-making bodies must be confirmed with the organisers; the University has not yet verified a definitive policy source.
Can I contribute as an educator, artist or researcher?
Yes, you can propose teaching, research, translation, creative activity or editorial work through the collaboration route. Each proposal needs an agreed scope and source permissions. It is separate from an application for facilitator authorisation.
Teaching & collaborationIs this a recognised university qualification?
No. The University is a non-formal educational platform. Internal facilitator recognition is not state academic accreditation, a regulated teaching licence or a clinical qualification.
Does an online course include examinations or personal feedback?
Only where the published course explicitly provides them. There is no universal promise of an examination, personal tutoring, a response time or a qualification.
Ask about current requirements.
The University can help clarify source access and direct an enquiry to the relevant organisers. It cannot unilaterally grant facilitator authorisation.
Include in your enquiry
- Your preferred language and country or city.
- The seminar sequence or programme you are asking about.
- Your question about entry requirements, organisers or previous study.
- Relevant experience you choose to share.
Organisations, authors and creative collaborators can use the teaching and collaboration route for a project or hosting proposal.
