Hi, I am finding process of becoming a verified listener a little confusing, can someone walk me through this process, please thank you
@ayezaman Hello Ayezaman, I am an Academy mentor. You can reach out to me for any assistance regarding that.
Hi guys. Can someone tell me how I can find out how many listener quizzes I've completed. I think I've completed all required for the QLP but I'm not 100%. Just been really busy.
@WishToBeWise
Hi! You have completed all the required ones. Congratulations
@Hope
Awelcome. Thank you hope
@WishToBeWise

Hi, I would like to ask about the internship requirement fulfilment.
What's my option if I foresee myself getting all the requirements fulfilled, except the listener Level 3 certificate elective?
I picked one of the electives as a listener Level 3 certificate, but it's not easy to get 10 positive reviews, considering my 6-week internship. It is not in my control if the member would really leave a review for me, and it kind of frustrating and seems a bit pushy to ask for a review directly, at least in my view.
I can see that I would fulfil all the other requirements of the Level 3 certificate and another requirement for the internship, just short of the positive review.
My internship will end on 12-Dec, and I have already extended it once.
Thank you for your reply.
@democraticCoconut192 Hello coconut, good to hear you are in the internship program. You can choose any 7 electives out of the 10 given. You don't have to finish all the ten. Any 7 of your choice will help you graduate. If you need any more assistance through this, I am an intern mentor, please feel free to reach out to me and I can help you better!
@democraticCoconut192
I'm a Member only. I can't imagine being offended by such a request. "Would you mind leaving me an anonymous review? It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative - feedback helps me grow as a Listener." You could also pop into the Listener Support Room and ask for tips on getting reviews.
You're helping keep 7 Cups running by as an intern, and you're providing members with a valuable resource by volunteering as a Listener. It all takes sacrifice, dedication, and training. Surely it's acceptable to ask for an anonymous review that takes seconds to complete.

I'm trying to submit my QLP last step form but now I'm coming across a "Workshops" section. No one told me I had to do this or what it was. It is not mentioned in the QLP guide at all??
@zareya
I have updated the form. It is not a requirement anymore!
@Hope thank you! i was really worried for a second
Hi, so I plan to take an internship program on 7 cup as part of my university curriculum. however, my university require student to enroll in all subject (internship confirmation included) by mid January. I plan to start my internship in July, could I sign up for the internship now and start in July?
I’m confused cuz it says that I need to apply for the internship badge in the internship email, but when I went to the link in the email… it said that if you started after January 31, 2022 (I started today), then you don’t need to apply for the intern badge and you should already have it. But I don’t have it.
Also, community building program, is that just any other academy class? Like for example quality listening, leadership, that group oriented one, that one about digital content and marketing, etc.?
@resourcefulMirage2502
Hi Mirage! You don't have to apply for any badge but regardless of your batch. You need to submit the trial completion form once two weeks complete your program.
Community Building is a course, not a program. Courses like community building and time management are part of academy programs, not a program on their own.
I see. Thank you for letting me know. Could I have the link to the community building course? The community building course link included in the internship requirements page is broken.
@resourcefulMirage2502
Hi Mirage! You have been assigned the badges. You can join the next orientation session today at 4 PM ET in the Academy hub room. You can also attend the next academy check-in on Thursday at 11 AM ET. More sessions can be found here
Got it! Will do. Thank you so much for your and everyone else’s help! I know I sent a lot of messages, I hope I wasn’t a bother.
This place is for questions and support, you made the best use of it. No bother at all!❤ Good wishes for your journey ahead!
A quick tip, when in forums, if you'd like to receive a response from someone specifically, you can tag them like how I tagged you here: @resourcefulMirage2502, an "@" sign before someone's complete username tags them, and notifies of the same so they can check out and respond when able to!
Can the trainings you completed before starting the internship also count towards your major and elective requirements?
@resourcefulMirage2502 yes
Ok. Thank you for answering my question!
So, for my internship requirements, I need four hours of chat/one on one messages each week of my internship. Do 4 hours have to be done each week? For example, could I do 2 hours in week 1, then 6 hours in week 2 to make up for last week?
@resourcefulMirage2502, yes you can make up for it in another week
I missed both sessions of adult orientation today. I have the trainee badge but the link just did not work for me either times. I do not have Academy Hub chairwoman popping up on my end.
I submitted my trial completion form earlier today. Is there anything else I need to do in regards to that?
The internship ambassador’s email said
“Failure to submit the badge request form for more than one week after your trial ends will result in automatic withdrawal of your Internship.”
I didn’t receive a link for the badge request form. What is the badge request form for? Is it to receive the Intern badge? I already have the Intern badge.
@resourcefulMirage2502, badge request form does not apply to you since you already have your badge
Understand. Thank you for your help! @wonderfulRainbow817
@resourcefulMirage2502
We will update the text to reflect the right term 'trial completion form' which needs to be submitted even though we assign badges when you avail your seat. This is the form
@Hope Thank you!
@Hope I submitted the trial completion form a few days ago, so I’m all good there! Again, thank you so much for your help!
