I wonder what kind of skills and diploma or certificate you must have as a coworking owner.
I need to study and have one in order to be credible as my job title.
I found some with community manager but it’s for social or virtual. Is there any training to become a real life community manager (welcome members, share ideas, planning events…)
You need a PhD from the school of hard knocks.

Randy ain’t wrong 
I’ve met owners with backgrounds and experience from almost every industry. I have seen almost no correlation that lends itself to any one industry or background. When you’re the owner, nobody’s checking your diploma.
Steve, are you trying to get hired or trying to start something?

Of course nobody ask a diploma nor you need one to open a coworking space
in the U.S, Alex, I'm the owner of a coworking space but as a french
coworking company and France is special, they look what diploma, training
certificate... you have in order to trust you. Also when you try to hire
someone I've check on classified ads or coworking site they ask for
community manager. So tha't the reason why I'm asking it, I need to have a
certificate at least.
I couldn't find one that is not related to social media like FB, g+... Kind
of ridiculous how we french are with the papers stuff (certificate,
diplomas...). I talk with many people and they always ask me for that.
On my business card I've add Comunity Manager not founder... because I want
to be available to all members. I'm currently taking online courses for
MBA, Leadership and Public speaking to improve my skills as someone that
comes from the web design & marketing industry.
I'm very confident and have no issues being a coworking manager, all is
fine for me because of my experience in communication and public relation
and marketing but still want to have a certificate or diploma for coworking
owner because of French culture about business.
So what usually do you ask when you hire an employee or any other advices?

Hey Steve - there are two experienced french coworking founders who replied to my tweet here offering to help you
Both of them have successfully built credibility without certifications or degrees in the field…and they’ve even attracted the attention of local government. So they’re doing something right among the French communities they’re a part of!
Definitely reach out to them to find out how they’ve learned to navigate french culture and build thriving coworking communities. Good luck!

Ok Alex it’s great! After reading the tweets, they were astonished at this subject and joked about the diplomas that are not necessary but rather the social side towards the coworkers. I think that they are right, since my opening no one asked me my diploma to exercise this job but rather admire my kindness, my courtesy and my services. Unlike the butcher, hairdresser, jeweler and other jobs, in France, it is not possible to open a business or work without a minimum degree or a certificate validating its achievements in the field. My initial question in this group was that some people around me or friends do think that I need to have a “paper” to become a community manager. They underestimate me. I think it’s very French to think so, education and graduates are very rooted in us unlike Americans or others who is based on experience and the result.

Real talk dude, people underestimate people everywhere. That’s not uniquely French. That’s human. You’re just paying too much attention to the wrong voices.
I was 23 when I started Indy Hall and had countless people tell me that I couldn’t do it. My last boss (before I quit) told me that it would never work.
I just ignored them and focused on finding my tribe, one at a time.
My fav is when those naysayers come back and want my advice on their “great idea.”

Great answer Alex. I was searching for the "like button" but couldn't find
it. Thank you for your support.
