While you’ll learn about psychedelic experiences and their potential benefits, this course does not qualify you to guide psychedelic sessions. That requires separate, specialized training like our Practitioner Certification Program.
Do I need to have experience with psychedelics to take this course?
No. This course is designed for professionals at all levels of experience, including those who have never used psychedelics. The focus is on understanding the fundamentals of psychedelic-informed coaching, not personal psychedelic use.
How much time should I expect to commit to this course?
The course is self-paced, allowing you to move through the material at a speed that works for your schedule.

Yes! This course is specifically designed as an introduction to the field. It will help you understand what psychedelic-informed coaching entails and whether it aligns with your professional goals. You’ll gain clarity on potential career paths and what additional training might be needed.
What technical requirements are needed to participate?
You’ll need:

- A device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) capable of streaming video
- Access to Zoom for the monthly Q&A sessions
- A private space where you can engage with course materials comfortably

This course serves as an introduction to psychedelic-informed coaching, providing essential baseline knowledge. The Practitioner Certification Program is our comprehensive, advanced training program for those ready to fully integrate psychedelic work into their professional practice. We created this course so students can start here to determine if they want to pursue the full certification.
