Certified Neurofeedback Therapist with certificate IFEN

Module 1 - Intensive Course (5 days)

Neurofeedback is effective,

and you can apply it to a variety of disorders.
These include: AD(H)D, learning disorders, autism, Asperger syndrome, epilepsy, bipolar disorders, anxiety, depression, pain and sleep disorders. We have a wide range of experience with chronic problems.

With our offer, we would like to prepare you for interesting and successful work in the best possible way. Help your patients with neurofeedback, too: It is very exciting to adopt the new techniques and the costs for training and equipment will amortize within a short period.

Our training concept

is based on tried and tested standards based on evidence. You will learn the training based on standard score EEG databases as well as the classic tried and tested beta SMR training (low beta). We place great significance on practical training and have thus anchored the accompanying supervision in our training concept.

You can, however, constantly extend your knowledge at the Institute for EEG Neurofeedback. We offer supervision, mentoring, and special workshops with other methods and content all the time. 

Therapists from around the world already work with the help of scientific databases. From many years of experience in our own practice and the positive feedback from our graduates, we make a high degree of safety and efficiency possible for you. With that, the focus is on your clients with their symptoms and grievances, in order to guarantee individual and holistic treatment tailor-made for them.
