What is the soonest I can end the Quality Listening Program if I signed up to do it in six weeks, and I finish it in one or two weeks?

@HermitHealer

You can submit the last step form once you have completed all the requirements including listening hours for at least 6 weeks worth of the program (6X3 = 18 hours)

So if I complete 30 hours I will graduate with honors, correct?

@HermitHealer

Hello, HermitHealer. I copied the honors information directly from the graduation completion form:

Trainees will be granted Honors if they do ONE of the following:

  • They completed a minimum 5 hours of weekly listening using the best practices guide throughout the program.
  • They completed 7 electives in total
  • They are a Quality Mentor/Teen Star or a 7 Cups academy mentor focusing on the Quality Listening Program

It's terrific that you're considering going for honors. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see your name on the Academy graduation list.

Hey, there. This is Dys, a trainee under QLP. I have a question concerning the application of the member's best practice guide.


I face some struggles in applying the guide in every 1-1 chat, as it's pretty different from my usual listening style. Is it important to follow it precisely in 1-1 chats in order for me to graduate? I mean, I notice that in the Last Step Form, I need to mention different usernames of members whom I have chatted, with during QLP, so I guess would be done somehow. + I want to know, would that break any boundaries concerning privacy?

GoldenNest2727 July 7th, 2023

Hello, Dys. Reach out to a mentor about following the guide. They might be able to offer some beneficial tips to help you along, or you might find out that it's really more important to follow the spirit of the guide than it is to hit every step exactly as stated. You will find your list of mentors right here. https://www.7cups.com/forum/QualityListeningProgram_207/MentorOffices_2211/7CupsAcademyMentorsQualityListeningProgramAvailabilityUpdates_238976/

In my experience, the mentors are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and generous with their time. Don't hesitate to send them a message.

As for the form, you wouldn't be sharing the content of your chat, and the information certainly wouldn't be shared around, but you can raise that question with your mentors too. How professional and ethical of you to be considerate about listener-member confidentiality! The fact that you're looking out for your members just shows what an excellent listener you are! 😊

Hey there wonderful peoples! I need a help with filling up my final evaluation form for the 7 Cups Internship. (The form looks scary at first glance!) Could anyone help me figure out 'what is what' please? 🥺

Any help would be super appreciated<3

@AloneGhost

It sounds like you're well on your way to graduating, AloneGhost. Woot, woot!

Reach out to your internship mentors for help with the form. They're the best source of knowledge in that area. I've noticed that https://www.7cups.com/@wonderfulRainbow817, is an incredibly helpful mentor who is usually quick to engage and super helpful, so I'll tag her @wonderfulRainbow817

You can find the other internship mentors right here https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/MentorOffices_1129/InternshipMentorsAvailabilityUpdates_76430/ . Look for an active name and shoot them a message.

@Hope

Hi, my name is Eddie and I am currently in the internship program. I had a quick question about one of the requirements: for the major requirement of 10 trainings (any 10 in addition to the 6 peer trainings), can I fulfill this requirement with 6 more peer trainings? Does the “Active Listening”, “Verified Listener”, “Practice Chat Refresher”, and “Listener Community Guide” count towards this requirement too?

1 reply
yourbuddy30 July 11th, 2023

@EddieL Yes you can finish the 6 other peer trainings Eddie. And yes, the others to count as training guides except the verified listener badge. That is a necessary part of the internship.

@Hope

Hey there everyone!

I still haven't chosen my electives yet but I wanted to know

- if there was a way to keep track of the messages I send in the listener chatrooms and member group support chatrooms

- if there is a specific poster that I have to use for the community outreach elective

Timeline: 3rd week

Internship: 7 cups internship


Thank you for your help in advance! <3

yourbuddy30 July 19th, 2023

@helpfulstrawberry312 Hello Helpful. You don't really have a way to keep a track of your messages in listener rooms. But yes, 25 messages in the rooms counts as 1 chat. so if you are able to finish 20 chats in listener or member rooms it counts as an elective.

For the outreach poster you can come up with something you created and get it approved by Hope. If they have approved it, you can move forward with it.

All the best for your internship!
