neurocare academy offers a Neurofeedback course accessible to practitioners worldwide through the online LMS e-learning platform.

This is a self-paced course where participants receive a theoretical background of Neurofeedback and we present current evidence for using Neurofeedback in a wide range of disorders, particularly ADHD and Insomnia. It also presents optimal treatment approaches of combining Neurofeedback with Psychotherapy and Sleep Hygiene Maintenance. Participants will receive an overview of Neurofeedback intake and safe delivery protocols. The prediction of treatment outcomes and QEEG markers to inform protocol selection.

This online course will also briefly present comparable neuromodulation techniques and is suited to professionals with limited experience in neuromodulation.

After successful completion of tests and modules, you will have a solid understanding of Neurofeedback within the research and clinical fields.

All core lessons are followed by a test. An 80% pass of the test is required to advance to the next lesson. The test can be repeated as many times as needed. Each lesson includes a recorded video presentation and accompanying learning materials.
How long do I get access to the online course?

This course must be completed within 6 months, to maintain consistency of study, ensure understanding of course materials and prepare you adequately for practical training.
Will I be certified to deliver Neurofeedback after completing the online course?

The online course is an ideal first step to gain theoretical insights into Neurofeedback and to observe case studies and evidence for Neurofeedback in clinical practice and is a pre-requisite to attending a practical workshop*.

You will receive a certificate acknowledging the time commitment of the online Neurofeedback course towards Continuing Professional Development.

However, attending a practical workshop and gaining experience with EEG and Neurofeedback equipment is essential to be able to offer Neurofeedback in clinical practice.

The online course followed by the hands-on practical workshop accounts for 36 hours towards BCIA accreditation (Biofeedback Certification International Alliance).

neurocare offers practical advice and learning pathways suited to the regions in which we currently operate (Germany, The Netherlands, Australia, Italy, United Kingdom, United States.)

^{*this may not apply to workshops delivered by neurocare in Germany.}
Do I need to attend a practical workshop after the online course?

The online course is an ideal first step to see if Neurofeedback is right for your practice or to gain more insights for your research or professional development. There is no obligation to attend a practical workshop after completion.

However, if you intend to prescribe and deliver Neurofeedback in practice you must attend a practical workshop and follow the guidelines of your region. If neurocare academy is not currently advertising practical workshops in your region, please get in touch as we may be able to make a custom arrangement.
