The format is essentially the same as Level 1—extensive pre-recorded videos supplemented by seven two-hour live sessions on Zoom (noon–2 pm Eastern), held every other week. Between sessions, you watch the relevant pre-recorded videos. If you miss a live session, you can attend it the next time through the cycle. You also get access to optional monthly Q&A sessions and small group learning. The next series of live sessions begins May 22rd, 2026.

Level 3 focuses on the Enneagram as a map of competencies and skills for engaging with the world. These competencies—originally conceived as the Awareness to Action Leadership Model—have applications well beyond leadership and touch every aspect of our lives. While the Awareness and Action Charts and the action plans built from them create the foundation for the shift in mindset necessary for change, the ATA competencies provide the specific developmental activities that allow you to be more skillful in practice.

The competencies fall into four categories that, while not type-specific, are mapped to the ATA Enneagram model. Category One, Behavioral Change, revisits the Awareness, Authenticity, and Action competencies from Level 2. Category Two, Preparing to Scale, maps to the three Instinctual Biases and covers Creating Process and Structure; Developing Talent and Managing Relationships; and Expanding Your Network and Personal Brand Promotion. Category Three, Skillful Thinking, maps to Points One, Seven, and Four and goes deeper into Rigor, Curiosity, and Creativity—the clear-thinking skills that sharpen discernment and problem solving, for yourself and the people you support. Category Four, Skillful Relationships, focuses on power dynamics, emotional connection, and non-attachment, which correlate to Points Eight, Five, and Two, respectively.

Finally, you'll learn how to weave all of these elements together to design interventions for your clients, whether they are individuals or teams.

Not for Levels 2 and 3.  Attendance at the live sessions is required for certification.
