ADVANCED CERTIFICATION IN APPLIED NEUROSCIENCE
Each client in unique. Each coach is unique. At KCI, we believe your certification process should also be unique.
Hands-on practicum, dedicated to the neuroscience of transformation, to Unlearning, to difficult change, and to YOU.
​​​​
​KCI offers several certification options for those eager to achieve the highest level of mastery of Advanced Applied Neuroscience methodologies.
​
Quick Summary
​​
-
Prerequisites: All KCI certification options require the completion of the Advanced Foundations in Applied Neuroscience course (the Foundations course is available in 3 format options: cohort, self-paced, and independent study).
-
Format: KCI certification programs are practicum-based. We do not believe in providing a certification just for providing you with new knowledge. KCI certification programs require mentoring you in practice.
-
Start time: All KCI certification options are dedicated 1-on-1 practicum programs. You can start anytime (coordinated with a KCI Certifying Partner who will be dedicated to your certification for the entirety of your journey).​
-
Modular approach: KCI programs are modular, which means that to complete the "Non-Coachable" and Team-Coaching levels, you'll first need to complete the Coachable certification level.
​
​​​​
If you have not yet explored the Advanced Foundations in Applied Neuroscience course, you'll want to start there. The foundations course will cover some of the WHAT (like what is neuroplasticity or what is an Unlearning-relearning process) but the primary focus of this 12-moudle program will be on HOW: ​
​​
-
Modules 1-7: Will provide you with all the science you need in order to understand brain parts, brain systems, and brain processes. However, the main focus of the first 7 modules is on HOW to rewire the brain, HOW to facilitate transformation, and HOW to get people to unlearn. Not only what neuroplasticity IS, but more importantly, how do you as a coach navigate, facilitate, power, and empower neuroplasticity (and other critical aspects of transformation like resistance to change, which are critical to understand from a scientific perspective in this context).
​​
-
Modules 8-12: Will incorporate all the Advanced Applied Neuroscience principles from modules 1-7 into a cohesive, practical methodology (we share the techniques we've been using at KCI for nearly two decades to illustrate one way all these principles can be applied).
​​
By module 8 of the Foundations course, you'll know. If you are in-love with the KCI methodology and it's burning in your bones to continue to the certification, you'll know. Otherwise, the Foundations program is a gem in its own right. It will give you access to pure applicable gold, and you'll be able to integrate many Advanced Applied Neuroscience techniques and principles into your own practice, regardless.​​​

"I benefited from becoming a certified consultant which has been incredibly impactful for my consulting business. I have had clients tell me the experience has been life changing, providing clarity and focus in both their professional and personal lives.

Why Take A Practicum Approach?
A dedicated approach is all about mastery and quality.
​
After nearly two decades, training and certifying hundreds of experienced coaches and change facilitators to use Advanced Applied Neuroscience in transformation work, we value the importance of dedicated mentoring. This means you can explore where this advanced new discipline meets your rich experience, your knowledge, and YOU.
​
Most excellent coaching certification programs out there are delivered in big group formats (anywhere from 40 to 200 people per group) and focus on ensuring you receive great content. Groups obviously have many important advantages and individual mentoring can be quite expensive (for example, some team coaching certification options offered in an individual mentoring format cost over $20K USD).
All that said, at KCI we believe there is no substitute for experiencing Advanced Applied Neuroscience coaching first hand. We believe that being a coach is an important responsibility and we are committed to mentoring each coach and change facilitator we certify to ensure they are armed with the highest level of mastery.​
The way we see it, your clients are unique, you are unique, and while we maintain individual certification options at highly comparable rates (our dedicated certification options are priced similarly to other small group certification options!), we believe your certification process should be dedicated. It should allow you to hone-in on your specific strengths, support you to refine your mastery of specific techniques, and position you to best support your clients as the most effective Advanced Applied Neuroscience Coach you can be.

Which Certification Level Is Right For You?
​
​To pick the right certification level for you, ask yourself - would your clients benefit most from:​
​​​​
​
​
​​We use the term "non-coachable" lovingly. Choose this certification if you often coach clients who say they want things to change but are reluctant (or flat out unwilling at first) to make the emotional effort required to make changes or transform. This certification includes the previous certification level as well as everything you need in order to support clients who at first are unwilling or unable to be vulnerable. For more about this certification level, click here.
​​
​​​​
​​Choose this certification level if you work with individuals and your clients would benefit from everything Advanced Applied Neuroscience has to offer to support "coachable" individuals, end-to-end. This certification includes the previous certification level as well as everything you need in order to guide clients to adopt new neuroscience-based skills as new default emotional response patterns. For more about this certification level, click here.
​​​​​
​​​
​
Choose this certification level if your clients would benefit most from your mastery of the subconscious discovery process of Unlearning Goals. This certification focuses on allowing your clients to separate the stories they tell themselves about themselves and about the world, and giving them access to what they subconsciously find valuable and true to their core. For more about this certification level, click here.
​
​
​​​​If you are familiar with different team coaching models, Advanced Applied Neuroscience Team Coaching (AANTC) is most similar to Systemic Team Coaching. It is however heavily enriched by Advanced Applied Neuroscience principles like knowing how to engage the transformation system in the brain, focusing on response patterns to discomfort (and helping the team develop greater mastery of new and more effective response patterns), and guiding the team through the Unlearning-relearning process.

"Reut is a very powerful, kind, tough-minded and soft-hearted individual...She embodies "paying it forward" and delivers more than you sign up for!
If there's any doubt as to whether or not it's a smart or worthwhile investment hitching your wagon to Reut's star, please consider this your permission to dismiss that doubt straightaway!"​

A Modular Certification Approach​
​​
KCI certification levels are modular. This means that you can add them gradually on top of each other, you can stop at any point, and each level prepares you for the next level (for example, the "non-coachable" certification level includes very important concepts that are needed for the team coaching certification level).
​​​
(Please note that while the Advanced Applied Neuroscience Team Coach certification is only $3,750 USD, it requires completing levels 1A and 1B).
"My clients have achieved significant and impactful shifts in how they relate to themselves and to the world around them thanks to this program. I can't recommend Reut enough! You will not only learn how to facilitate your clients to achieve change you didn't know was possible, you will significantly grow as a coach and change facilitator!"
