At Enfoques Humanísticos, we continue to take steps that strengthen the profession for those of us who choose to dedicate ourselves to Human Development in Argentina and Latin America.

Today, we want to share a very significant milestone: our training in Counseling – Human Development Facilitation has been certified as an educational model by IRCEP (International Registry of Counselor Education Programs). IRCEP is a leading international body that operates in alignment with the guidelines of CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs, USA), one of the most world-renowned frameworks for quality assurance in training programs.

“Fifteen years ago, it was difficult to imagine that a practice born from such a deeply human and respectful approach as Counseling would consolidate with such strength, professional legitimacy, and international projection.“

This recognition reaffirms the path we have been building and positions our educational proposal in direct dialogue with today’s global challenges. It strengthens Human Development as a professional field in Latin America, providing you with solid and up-to-date resources to respond to the real needs we face as practitioners accompanying people.

Human Development: A Person-Centered Perspective

Working in Human Development implies understanding people in all their complexity: how we live through our experiences, the meaning we give to them, how we construct our history, how we relate to others, and what communication patterns we maintain or transform. It integrates the relational, cultural, and emotional dimensions, helping us accompany real processes of change, growth, and decision-making throughout life, within the various environments in which we participate and interact.

In this framework, as a counselor, you specialize in interpersonal communication processes and human relationships, accompanying all dimensions of the development of individuals and teams. You offer a professional space for facilitation that respects each person’s uniqueness while fostering growth in connection with others.

A Key Step for Our Region

Being the first Hispanic American distance-learning program recognized by IRCEP under international quality standards is a sign of maturity and professionalization for Human Development in our region. It is an opportunity to continue building bridges between academic training and real-world needs.

“But it is also a cultural signal: we need more spaces where human development is a real priority—not just an idea, an intention, or a speech. We need more living organizations, more ethical leadership, and processes that are not reduced solely to results, but rather contain them with depth.“

This recognition expands the projection of those who train with us and reinforces the trust of organizations, institutions, and communities seeking to grow and strengthen themselves through a human lens.

Training Today: A Strategic Decision in the Age of Tech and AI

Our world is transforming rapidly, driven by the advancement of technology and Artificial Intelligence. This makes training oriented toward the “human” more central than ever. Technology can optimize processes, offer information, and even generate a certain “cognitive empathy,” but it cannot accompany us in what is essential: the human experience.

“People still need to be heard, recognized, and cared for. We need real bonds, human contact, and spaces where we can feel unique, express emotions, build meaning, and encounter a genuine other“

Therefore, specializing in deeply human processes—such as communication, bonding, relationships, and accompaniment—is a professional and ethical response to the challenge of working with organizations and addressing the human needs of the future without losing sight of what matters most: people.

International Standards Impacting Practice

Holding an international certification means our training is aligned with globally recognized quality standards. What we teach is updated, externally reviewed, and in dialogue with today’s real challenges: human relationships, communication, well-being, teamwork, and the shifts and issues faced by individuals and organizations.

This translates directly into practice: it provides us with better professional judgment, greater clarity to accompany complex processes, and more tools to intervene with ethics and humanity in diverse contexts. Ultimately, it impacts how we accompany others, how we build bonds, and how we sustain human development processes.

Gratitude and a Shared Path

We are honored by this milestone and by the opportunity to contribute to the growth of Counseling in Argentina and Latin America as an engine for human development—with professionalism, social responsibility, and a way of accompanying where the human essence is at the center.

We want to thank IRCEP—especially Silvia Reyes—our mentor, George Vera, and our Academic Director, Sandra Pons, for their support and trust in our training model. And to every student, graduate, teacher, and professional who is part of this community that keeps growing with commitment, coherence, and humanity.

With all our love and gratitude!
