Overview
EnneaRoles is the world’s first assessment that integrates the Enneagram with the PAEI organizational roles framework — and the only certification that evaluates you with a real client, not a written exam.
The EnneaRoles Practitioner Certification (Level 1) is a 9-week professional formation program that gives coaches, HR professionals, consultants, and organizational leaders the knowledge, tools, and supervised practice to deliver the EnneaRoles assessment at a professional level.
This is not just a self-guided online course. It combines asynchronous video modules with weekly live sessions, personal mentoring with the program creator, and a competency-based certification exam — all designed to ensure you are genuinely ready to work with real clients from day one.
Presented in collaboration with the Madanes Institute, this edition includes an exclusive 2-hour live Masterclass with Cloe Madanes — world-renowned innovator of strategic family therapy and trainer of over 15,000 life coaches worldwide — as the capstone of the program.

Why EnneaRoles — and why this certification
🎯 The only dual-framework assessment The only assessment in the world that integrates the Enneagram (internal motivational map) with the PAEI organizational roles (external behavioral map). Not just who you are — but how your personality supports or blocks the roles your job demands.
🤝 Mentored from day one Every participant receives personal mentoring with Yechezkel Madanes on a real client case before delivering independently. You are never left alone to figure it out. We accompany you until you are ready.
🎓 A real exam — not a written test Your certification exam is a filmed, live debrief session with a real client. We don’t ask if you know how to do it. We watch you do it. This is the standard of the most rigorous professional certification programs in the world.
⭐ Closing Masterclass with Cloe Madanes Graduates of this edition receive an exclusive 2-hour live masterclass with Cloe Madanes — world-renowned innovator of strategic therapy, founder of the Madanes Institute, and co-creator of the Robbins-Madanes Training Program.
How it works
Step 1 — Register & take your own assessment Upon enrolling, you take the EnneaRoles assessment yourself and receive a personal debrief session via Zoom. Experiencing the assessment as a client is a mandatory ethical requirement — and the most powerful foundation for everything that follows.
Step 2 — Complete the 9 online modules Work through the program at your own pace, 24/7. Video lessons, readings, handouts, and homework assignments covering the Enneagram, the PAEI roles, the 36 sub-competencies, report interpretation, and the complete debrief protocol.
Step 3 — Attend the weekly Practitioner Circle Every Thursday, join Yechezkel live on Zoom for a 1-hour session: 30 minutes of conceptual reinforcement on a core topic, followed by 30 minutes of open Q&A and case discussion. Open to all students regardless of which module they are in.
Step 4 — Complete your 2 supervised practice sessions From Module 6 onward, invite 2 people to take the assessment using your practice licenses. Session 1 is mentored by Yechezkel — a step-by-step walkthrough of a real debrief. Session 2 is your certification exam: an independent, filmed debrief session with a real client.
Step 5 — Graduate Upon approval of your filmed session, receive your official Madanes School diploma, international practitioner license, 3 commercial assessment licenses, and access to the Certified Practitioners Platform. Then attend the exclusive closing Masterclass with Cloe Madanes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EnneaRoles assessment and what makes it different?
The EnneaRoles is the only assessment in the world that integrates two complementary frameworks: the Enneagram (an internal map of 9 personality types based on core motivation) and the PAEI model developed by Dr. Ichak Adizes (an external map of 4 organizational roles). Together, they show not just who you are, but how your personality architecture supports or blocks the specific roles your job demands. Unlike CliftonStrengths (which only shows the bright side), Hogan (which focuses exclusively on psychology), or MBTI (which maps cognitive preferences), EnneaRoles connects personality directly to organizational role execution and performance goals.
Do I need prior experience with the Enneagram or the PAEI model?
No. The program is designed to take you from zero to certified practitioner. Module 1 introduces the full dual-framework from scratch. Prior experience with either system is welcome but not required.
Can I use the EnneaRoles assessment with my clients immediately after certifying?
Yes. Upon graduation you receive 3 full commercial assessment licenses — so you can begin working with paying clients immediately. Additional licenses are available for purchase through the Practitioners Platform.
How much time do I need each week?
The program is designed for approximately 2-3 hours of module work per week over 9 weeks, plus 1 hour for the Thursday Practitioner Circle. Most participants find this very manageable alongside their professional commitments.
What is the Practitioner Circle and do I have to attend?
The Practitioner Circle is a weekly live session on Zoom — every Thursday — open to all currently enrolled students. The first 30 minutes cover a core topic from the program. The second 30 minutes are open Q&A and case discussion. Attendance is strongly recommended but not mandatory. Sessions are not recorded to preserve the candid, open nature of the discussion.
What is the difference between the Standard and Premium tracks?
Both tracks include the full program, the Practitioner Circle, the mentored practice session, the certification exam, and the closing Masterclass with Cloe Madanes. The Premium track adds weekly individual 1:1 mentoring sessions with Yechezkel Madanes throughout the entire 9 weeks — for participants who want deeper personal accompaniment and faster development.
What exactly is the certification exam?
Your certification exam is a filmed, live debrief session with a real client — not a multiple-choice test. From Module 6 onward, you invite 2 people to take the EnneaRoles assessment using your practice licenses. Session 1 is a mentored walkthrough with Yechezkel. Session 2 is your exam: you deliver the debrief independently, film it with your client’s consent, and submit it for evaluation. If approved, you receive your certification.
What if my filmed session doesn't meet the standard?
Your certification exam is a filmed, live debrief session with a real client — not a multiple-choice test. From Module 6 onward, you invite 2 people to take the EnneaRoles assessment using your practice licenses. Session 1 is a mentored walkthrough with Yechezkel. Session 2 is your exam: you deliver the debrief independently, film it with your client’s consent, and submit it for evaluation. If approved, you receive your certification.
Can I get a refund after enrolling?
No. Because you receive immediate access to all program materials, the assessment platform, and your practice licenses upon enrollment, we are unable to offer refunds after purchase. We encourage you to review the full Program Outline and FAQ carefully before enrolling, and to contact us with any questions at support@madanesschool.com.
What technology do I need?
A computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet connection. All modules are available 24/7 through the learning platform. Video content includes transcripts and subtitles.
Can I share my login with colleagues so we can learn as a group?
No. Logins can only be used by enrolled participants. If you would like to learn as a group, please ask other members to enroll in the program.
