Teach the Program. Or Build Your Own.
The Certified Neural Skills Teacher program is a four-week extension for graduates of the Practitioner and Coach courses who wish to create formal coaching, consulting, education, or training programs based on the principles and practices of all-secular, all-science neural training.
The course provides a view of teaching opportunities and options, a deeper exploration of secular practices and inquiry, an examination of metrics and measures for business results, and facilitated peer-to-peer teaching and feedback.
Graduates are qualified to create and teach their own programs - or may apply to deliver the proprietary IOSM curriculum as a licensed Teaching Partner, or create an internal program as an Organizational Partner.
The NSHP Course
The Teacher course takes the personal foundation of the Practitioner and the professional coaching skills of the Coach, and extends them into program design, formal instruction, and measurable delivery.
You'll explore the full landscape of where Neural Skills Teachers operate - public programs, corporate training, educational institutions, coaching groups, and licensed delivery. You'll deepen your personal command of secular practices and inquiry, and learn how to demonstrate outcomes, behavioral change, and ROI to the organizations you serve.
The course culminates in facilitated peer-to-peer teaching - structured practice and feedback that builds real classroom confidence before you deliver to your own audiences. You'll leave with the skills, the frameworks, and the credential to teach neural training in any professional context.
What You'll Develop
The Teacher course deepens your command of the practices and equips you to design, deliver, and measure formal neural training programs.
