Current RTP® Trainers in the United States and Australia

As the creator of the Responsible Thinking Process and current president of RTP, Inc., I want to make sure that those who represent RTP are qualified and can be depended upon to represent RTP. The following is the current list of those whose schools I’ve visited and have watched them work with students. I have found them to be sufficiently trustworthy and knowledgeable of RTP and will maintain its integrity. Ed Ford.

Only three trainers are authorized to train schools

There are currently only two people that are authorized to do training in the United States, and they are George Venetis and Ed Ford. In Australasia, there is an additional authorized trainer, Jean Knight.

The other trainers mentioned below have the authority to explain the process to a group interested in or considering RTP training. Also, once a school has been trained, the other trainers would be authorized to go in and evaluate the school, advising them of areas in which they need to improve for possible future accreditation. All schools must receive their RTP accreditation from Ed Ford, George Venetis, or Jean Knight.

WARNING: Some are teaching RTP but are neither accredited or qualified.

Both in the U.S. and in other countries, there are some educators teaching RTP
and some schools claiming to use RTP, that are not accredited by RTP, Inc.

Also, if a person were to give a presentation on RTP without permission,
they would be in violation of the Lanham Act.
