IOSM Teacher Certification
The IOSM Teacher Certification prepares IOSM Facilitators to teach neural training protocols within their organizations, or with coaching, consulting, or training clients. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate neural practices into their curricula and new program designs.
Professional Pathways
IOSM Teacher Certification is designed for professionals who want to move beyond facilitation and assume responsibility for instruction, program delivery, and curriculum-based learning.
