Education

Education - Sound. Practical. Recognised.

Classroom with students
  • One-year, part-time diploma programme "Certified Neuro-/Biofeedback Therapist" with EMR/ASCA recognition.
  • Combination of solid theory, intensive practical training, supervised patient work, and structured exam preparation.
  • Three diploma levels, from the basic diploma to a fully health-insurance-recognised qualification, including organised basic medicine.

The diploma programme is aimed at professionals with medical, psychological, educational, or health-related backgrounds; applicants currently in therapeutic training can participate in parallel. For participants without a medical basic qualification, the I-NFBF organises the necessary EMR/ASCA-compliant basic medicine directly in-house, so all training is available under one roof.

Programme Content

  • Theory: Neurophysiology, EEG assessment, QEEG, clinical evaluation, treatment planning, and indication-specific protocols.
  • Practice: Hands-on training on NeXus/BioTrace+, Biograph Infinity, BEELab, Cygnet, EEGo24/ANTNEURO, BrainAssistant, BrainMaster, and further systems; in the first trimester all platforms are introduced, afterwards specialisation follows.
  • Clinical application: Supervised patient work from the sixth course day onward, case studies, clinical decision-making, and support for setting up a practice.

Admission Requirements

  • Completed professional training (university of applied sciences/university preferred) or ongoing therapeutic training.
  • Without a medical basic qualification: basic medicine 150 h (ASCA) or 340 h (EMR), organised through the I-NFBF.
  • Recognition of previous training from other schools or from abroad after review of your documents.

The diplomas entitle graduates to register with EMR and ASCA and thus to bill through the supplementary insurance of Swiss health insurers (Tariff 590). The professional association Biofeedback | Neurofeedback Switzerland (BBNS) confirms the training quality of the I-NFBF as a basis for full professional activity in the field of bio-/neurofeedback.
