Training and certification
Find accredited training, and see how certification works. ANSA does not certify practitioners: neurofeedback and biofeedback certification is through BCIA, and QEEG certification is through IQCB.
Training providers
Where to train
These providers offer didactic courses that meet BCIA neurofeedback or IQCB QEEG certification requirements. Check each provider's website for course dates, delivery and current accreditation.
ANSA lists providers for information and does not endorse individual providers.
