Certified RW Military Instructor

Strengthening military resilience and spiritual fitness through enhanced emotional intelligence and conflict resolution.

Certified RW Military Instructor

Purpose: A Certified RW Military Instructor is equipped to teach the concepts of relational wisdom (RW) and relational peacemaking (RP) using RW360’s Group Study Sets, which include teaching videos, PowerPoint presentations, study guides and discussion questions contextualized for a military setting.

Background Information:

To learn about the benefits of teaching relational wisdom and relational peacemaking, see EI in the Military-Deploying Our Most Powerful Weapon, Fifteen Ways that RW Builds Readiness, Spiritual Fitness and Resilience in the Military, RW Strengthens Both Families and Businesses and RW for Military Chaplains.

Prerequisites: None.

Virtual Training: Cost: $300 | Study: 24 hrs | Practicum: 6 hrs | Total Time: 30 hrs

Live Training: RW360 is currently negotiating a live 3-day training arrangement with the U.S. Army’s Building Strong and Ready Teams Program.

Training Requirements:

    1) Complete Exploring Relational Wisdom.[1]

    2) Complete Resolving Everyday Conflict.

    3) Complete Military Instructor Practicum, which includes training on educational methodology, case studies and military applications, and promotional strategies.

    [1] Exploring RW and Resolving Everyday Conflict are taught in values-based (secular) formats that are compatible with all worldviews and religions. Thus, they qualify as being “faith-informed” rather than “faith-based,” and are fundable under 10 USC §1789. Similar courses are available in faith-based formats for individuals who identify with a Christian worldview. After completing this training, Certified RW Military Instructors are equipped and authorized to use whichever version of these resources best suits a particular audience.

Additional Training Options:

After completing either the Certified RW Military Instructor course or the Certified RW Military Chaplain course, chaplains may pursue further training to expand their skills and enhance their post-military career opportunities (e.g., pastoral ministry or professional consulting, life coaching or conciliation work) by pursuing these training tracks:

  • Advanced or Certified RW Shepherd
  • Advanced or Certified RW Coach
  • Advanced or Certified RW Instructor
  • Advanced or Certified RW Conciliator
