Currently it is not possible to describe yourself as a Qualified or Certified Deathwalker.  If it was a certifiable course\, it would need to be much longer than 3 days\, and would require competency tasks and assessments.\n\nWe decided to deliver t his body of work\, universal knowledge and practical information for peopl e\, so they could add to or enhance their existing knowledge and experienc e. Their inherent capacity to do death well.  Rather than create a much l onger more complex and expensive course\, we trust each person will take t his Training and allow it to evolve and grow them in the most beneficial w ay for each person and their communities.\n\nThere is a minimum requiremen t of 15 people to go ahead\, and to make the group fire together. If the m inimum number is not reached 1 month out\, the Training will be cancelled.   This has never happened so far.\n\nSee Training section for more detail ed content info.
