Thank you for your interest in the CAMELIDynamics Consultancy Program. People new to the world of llamas and alpacas need qualified people to assist with handling and management, efficient farm set-up, humane shearing, transport and veterinary care. Becoming a CAMELIDynamics Consultant is personally satisfying, is a great addition to your professional qualifications as well as serving as a marketing plus for your farm.

There are no fixed guidelines to complete before testing in as a consultant, however it is suggested that you have attended all five of the one courses offered at least once and have attended the one day introduction at least twice. Generally candidates will have 1-2 years of experience with the methods prior to testing in. Participation on the CAMELIDynamics forum by both posting questions and contributing to posts is also suggested. If you have questions about when it would be appropriate to apply please email . To be eligible to become a CAMELIDynamics Consultant you must successfully complete two aspects of the testing-in process.

1. Complete a written process that demonstrates that you possess a knowledge of the philosophy and approach of CAMELIDynamics--that of the least intrusive most positive approach to problem solving in any given situation. This written process is done on line as an interchange over a period of days or weeks with a qualified test administrator. The answers are not right or wrong but are intended to provide an opportunity for consultant candidates to demonstrate their understanding of the philosophy and approach inherent in CAMELIDynamics. Candidates will engage in a back and forth Socratic style interaction and will emerge from, rather than pass or fail, the process.

2. A live demonstration of 10 skills drawn from the Knowlege and Skills checklist. This practicum can be completed at any official CAMELIDynamics event by prior arrangement. If I live demonstration is not reasonably possible the practicum can be completed by video tape by arrangement.

You must also complete the application below. Once your application is approved, we can begin the online testing process and can make arrangements for the live demonstration. An application fee of $95 which is applied to the cost of your first year of membership is due before we begin.

To remain qualified at your current level or advance within the Consultancy Program, you must participate in continuing CAMELIDynamics Education, as outlined in the Program Guidelines, and remain current with the annual dues.
