Certification in TAM
Certification to interpret the TAM-Insights suite of applications is available. The authors of TAM offer certification purely on individual or small-team (3-4 individuals) basis (ie no open enrolment certification workshops) in the modality of “apprenticeship”. Any person or small team desirous of taking up certification will have to go through the following steps:
Complete their own personal TAM-Self and TAM Role and have their TAM-Self Report (TM) as well as their Resonances-Dissonances Report (TM). They should have also had an interpretation session for both these reports from one of the authors of TAM.
Attend a session with the authors on “The TAM framework + Using and interpreting TAM”. This would be a one day session (at the maximum)
Identify three different clients and do assisted TAM Self and TAM Role interpretations for them (in an assisted session, a preliminary interpretation report would be done by the learner and reviewed by a TAM Author. TAM reports are not entirely machine-generated reports and certified TAM Users will have to gain capability in crafting reports based on their growing familiarity with the framework and the tool)
Go through a viva-voce with the TAM authors team
Agree to be part of a half-yearly audit process where their report interpretations would be part of a peer review process to be initiated by the TAM authors.
The above steps would qualify for Certification in TAM-Self and TAM Role

Conduct one workshop using TAM-Team or TAM-Org, with one of the authors participating as mentor/guide
