The training I received from PCI is unlike any other. This was the best investment in my continuing education that I have made so far. I value the guest lectures, our pod breakout sessions, the intensive experience and the incredible bonds we have formed within our group. I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in the psychedelic space, especially for coaches who want to deepen their knowledge base and make the most of the catalysts of plant and synthetic medicines.

What Our Graduates Are Saying
A Transformative Experience That Changes Lives
This experience changed the trajectory of my life. I made life-long friendships, found community and support both personally and professionally, received a first-class education in the field of psychedelics and found ways to face some of the most challenging and beautiful aspects of being alive. I can’t recommend this training enough. Go for it!
- Dylan K.
Ushering in a New Era of Happiness and Harmony
We’re at such an important moment in the renaissance of psychedelics. More than ever it’s critical to have well-trained and ethical practitioners entering into
the field. Third Wave helps emerging practitioners
get the skills, connections, and ethical foundation needed to help usher in a new era of responsible psychedelic use. Done well, I truly believe this has
the potential to usher in a new era of happiness and harmony for humanity.
- Chris V.
Life-Changing Journey of Personal and Professional Growth
PCI gave me enough depth and freedom to explore the
world of integration coaching in a way that resonated with
me. With a wide variety of approaches and knowledge from guest lecturers, it felt less like a ‘step-by-step’ approach and more of a guided intuitive program with enough structure and guardrails to help me forge my own path. Integration sessions were my favorite, leaving me with peer connections and support that will last a lifetime.
- Alexa J.

What is the time commitment for the certification program?

What is the Practicum and why is it required?
The Practicum part of the course consists of Practice Sessions and a Final Assessment, a requirement for graduation. This phase lasts for six months and begins after the theoretical portion of the curriculum is complete. The point of the Practicum is to ensure that you understand and can skillfully apply the proprietary PCI coaching methodology.
The Practicum period will include additional lectures and facilitated group integration sessions separate from the main curriculum.
Practice Sessions involve finding one or more clients to coach and logging 50 coaching sessions. One of the sessions must be recorded anonymously and will be reviewed only by an authorized PCI Faculty member, then deleted after graduation.
More details will be sent to you closer to the Practicum phase.
