Certification

Course participants will be awarded a Certificate of Instrumental Enrichment Trainer Renewal upon successful completion of the entire course requirements.

The certificate is valid for six years from its issue date and serves as an IE Training license. Its renewal is dependent on:

  • Submission of standard training reports (as specified by the ATA agreement) or proper reporting of the courses taught by you in the annual report of the ATC (as stipulated in the ATC contract)
  • Completion of a Trainer’s Renewal Course once every six years, given in the annual Feuerstein Summer Workshops

Trainers must either sign an agreement with the Feuerstein Institute establishing themselves as an ATA/ATC or be employed by an existing ATC. Trainers are forbidden from teaching the Feuerstein Method without having an existing contract in place.
