StressTherapy Solutions presents
BCIA Didactic Course – Neurofeedback Bootcamp for Beginners
April 22 & 23, 29 & 30
Virtual Workshop
Steve Warner PhD, BCN QEEG-D
Total CEs: 36 Hours
Whether you’re looking to become familiar with neurofeedback or expand your existing knowledge, this course serves as a guide to navigating basic steps that will improve and enhance your practice. This program not only explores the use of neurofeedback software and equipment, but also brings to light current research and treatment techniques that have ensured positive changes in clients and benefited clinicians worldwide. It is also the only course that introduces database guidance and live Z-score training! Practitioners seeking BCIA certification can also earn up to 36 credit hours if they attend the full course!
This workshop also offers an extra day of optional hands-on training that provides familiarity and experience! This practicum will be held at the end, and can be purchased for an additional fee. Equipment is not required for attendance, as guests may pair up for practice. ($195 for workshop attendees, $250 for non-attendees).
