Training institute

Professional training in neurofeedback and biofeedback

A part-time diploma programme for professionals in therapy, medicine, psychology, education, and neuro- or sports science – as well as for newcomers without a medical background. The programme takes just 1 year instead of the usual 2. If you're missing the medical fundamentals, you can acquire them directly with us through our medical foundation course.

I-NFBF

Theory, practice and supervised application

Why our graduates work at the highest level from day one At our institute, a diploma is not merely a theoretical qualification — it's the result of intensive, hands-on training. Our instructors bring years of clinical experience and an extensive national and international network directly into the training, through real case studies, supervision, and the exchange of insights on complex, persistent cases from their own practice. As a result, our graduates complete their diploma not only with solid theoretical knowledge, but also with a depth of experience and therapeutic skill that would typically take years of independent practice to develop. Those who graduate from our program are ready, from their very first treatment day, to confidently and competently support even complex cases. The diploma combines neurophysiology, EEG and qEEG with practical work on several systems. Supervised patient work, case discussions and examination preparation continue throughout the programme. Participants are introduced to several systems before concentrating their practical work on their preferred system. Our participants are trained in small groups, continuously guided and supervised, and thereby prepared step by step for the diploma examination as well as for independently leading their own practice or a bio-/neurofeedback department within a clinic.

In-person teaching takes place in Zurich and Blonay. Additional teaching is delivered online.
