The Flow System Foundations FS-1

The Flow System Foundations (FS-1)

Syllabus

Description of Course

The Flow System Foundations Course (FS-1) provides a brief overview of The Flow System (TFS) including the components that make up TFS, the background in the development of TFS, and a definition of Flow and TFS. This course will highlight the core principles of TFS and will briefly introduce participants to the concepts that make up The Triple Helix of Flow along with a brief introduction to various tools and techniques available to participants for each of the helixes.

Duration of Training

The Flow System Foundations (FS-1) course requires 16 hours of training and can be taken as a two-day in-person training session, an online live virtual class, or as an asynchronous self-paced online training using The Flow System’s learning management system (LMS). This course can be taught publicly or privately to any organization.

Participants must complete the training before receiving a code allowing them to take the Flow System Foundations (FS-1) assessment for accreditation. The fee for the assessment is included in the course fee for training attendees. 

Participants who attend the training will have two attempts at the Flow System Fouondaitons (FS-1) assessment. Participants who wish to forgo the training and jump straight to the assessment may do so but must first buy a code and will only have one attempt as opposed to two for people taking the training. You can buy a code below by clicking ‘Take Assessment.’
