BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A few things worth knowing before choosing a course.

Ask your own question

Do I need previous experience?

Workshop tracks are described for beginners, intermediate learners and advanced practitioners. Certification and instructor pathways have their own prerequisites. Tell us about your background so we can discuss a suitable starting point.

What formats are available?

The program range includes one-to-one and group training, workshops, seminars and masterclasses. Formats include 1–2 day intensives, weekend cohorts and weekly modules. Ask which formats are currently offered for the pathway you are considering.

What is the difference between learning and teaching tracks?

Workshops and practitioner tracks focus on learning and applying the framework. Train-the-trainer courses add adult-learning principles, course design, teaching labs, feedback and assessment.

What does a certificate mean?

Our continuing-education offering describes credits and certificates recognized within the MindChat network. A network certificate is not a professional license. Before enrolling, confirm the specific award, assessment requirements and any recognition you need from an outside professional body.

Where can I find dates, prices and enrollment details?

Contact us to ask about current schedules, location or delivery format, fees and prerequisites. These details are not published on this page. Choose a program and send a short inquiry below; we’ll reply by email.
