"I love how neuroscience research can be workable in the real world. I have done several courses in this area and have found Ramon’s grasp of neuroscience and his practical examples of how to apply them in different situations exceptional. He makes it easy to integrate them into my thinking and practice. A great teacher!"

Online Professional Practice Program

Step-by-step practical neuroscience training and education with a 6 Week Fast-Track Certificate in Applied Neuroscience.

Note: The 6 week professional practice program is a fast-track program. The program could be spread over 12 weeks or more. However, we have considered the benefits of immersion vs distributed training to create an optimal learning experience. We recommend immersing yourself in the applied neuroscience training for 6 weeks, then going back through the program to master each area in your own time.

Interactive Training

In addition to the comprehensive online training program, the Certificate in Applied Neuroscience includes 6 weeks of online interactive Zoom calls.

We also cap the number of participants on the program, for a better learning experience. A maximum of 12 people per live call means that we can explore topics in-depth, and there's no talking over one another.

Note: You do not need to attend the live sessions to be awarded the Certificate in Applied Neuroscience. See FAQ's for details.

"Ramon’s real-world approach makes the science easy for me to begin utilizing immediately with every client who walks through the door, and to feel confident in knowing it's backed up by proper testing! - One of the best decisions of my career and we are just getting warmed up. Thanks Ramon!"

Practitioner Tools

Each module comes with practitioner tools to help you implement what you learn, and apply neuroscience in your practice.

Tools include brain-based cheat-sheets, assessments, powerful-questioning examples and more.

Resources

For those who like to dive deeper! Every module comes with recommended books, as well as relevant brain-based studies and research for further reading.

"Cutting-edge neuroscience! It is presented in a way that is a joy to learn, understand, and apply it practically - whether you like to watch, listen, or read - and a private club to maximize one's learning strengths."

"This was a very valuable course and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to apply neuroscience in their work. Ramon is so knowledgeable on this subject and offers the latest research to back the science. He is a lifelong learner and his passion for neuroscience is evident when he is teaching. I walked away from this course with a desire to delve further into neuroscience as well as practical strategies to incorporate neuroscience in my coaching. I also have a better understanding of how to tell if research is robust and meaningful. There is so much covered in a short period of time and I look forward to relistening to all the lectures again, reading through the supporting research papers and listening to the amazing podcasts that Ramon has so generously offered this community. This course is definitely worth the investment!"
