Course objectives

The course is suitable for university students, educators, psychologists, clinicians, and other professionals interested in cognitive intervention. In this introductory course on Feuerstein Instrument Enrichment (FIE), participants explore the core theories of Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) to understand how cognitive functions can be enhanced in both regular and special needs populations. The course examines common deficient cognitive functions and teaches the criteria for effective mediation to promote deep learning.

Participants will learn how to set and achieve clinical and educational objectives through structured lesson planning and the preparation of “bridging” exercises to enable the transfer of developed skills into real-world contexts. Comprehensive instruction is provided for using four FIE instruments—Organization of Dots, Comparisons, Analytic Perception, and Orientation in Space I—while also introducing the digital versions of FIE and the online assessment approaches.

At the end of the course, participants will be awarded a Certificate of Instrumental Enrichment Mediator Level 1 (of 3) upon successful completion of the entire course requirements. The certificate is valid for four years from its issue date and is renewed subject to the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) conditions:

  • Submittal of a verification form of IE implementation to Feuerstein Institute https://feuerstein-institute.org/training/continuous-professional-development/ reflecting at least 30 hours of work with IE-1 (of 3) instruments
  • Participation in annual online or “live” CPD seminars organised by the Feuerstein Institute or/and local Authorised Training Centers, or attendance of three additional FIE or FIE Basic courses.
