Curriculum overview

Six modules of diagnostic training

01

The VAST Diagnostic Framework

The Values, Architecture, Systems, and Trajectory spectrum — how each domain operates and how they interact structurally.

02

Diagnostic precision

How to identify what is stuck, misaligned, or incomplete within the VAST spectrum — and how to distinguish surface from structural causes.

03

Facilitation methodology

The VASTMethod™ facilitation protocol: how to hold the client within the diagnostic and move through the work without collapsing it.

04

Pattern recognition

Advanced pattern recognition across the VAST spectrum — the ability to read a client's presenting material structurally rather than narratively.

05

Integration with Transformation Architecture™

How VASTMethod™ operates within the broader discipline of Transformation Architecture™ and when to use each layer of the system.

06

Credentialing and practice

Supervised facilitation, case review, and the final credentialing process for the Certified VAST Practitioner designation.
