The Neuroplastician™ Certification Program has been developed, reviewed and signed off by a group of scientists, training providers and licensed practitioners from around the world. It ensures that the candidate's experience and training meets the standards of knowledge in applying neuroscience.

Dr. Justin Kennedy

TEDx, Behavioural Neuroscience Professor at Monarch Business School, Switzerland

The understanding of neuroscience in an organizational context is vital for leaders in pivotal roles where one single decision can decide over life of death. As a Neuroplastician™, I apply neuroscience in my Organizational Maneuverability Course and my work with pilots.

Randy Swaim, PhD Cand.

US Air Force Aviator, Trainer, Author, Executive Coach & Speaker, USA

​I have had a chance to contribute to defining the methodology with the ION community of fellows, to equip leaders to improve their influence and impact. The practice of the Neuroplastician™ has been vitally important to me in the context of leadership in education.

​Dr. Judi Newman

Ph.D. in educational neuroscience, Applied Neuroscience Training Provider, Australia

I endorse the discipline of the Neuroplastician™. My aim is to constructively empower and transform the lives of teachers and students. This begins by answering this maxim “I’ve got the power to change my brain, my thinking, my behavior, my attitude, my choices, my actions and my life.

  • Who is considered a Neuroplastician™ ?
    The Neuroplastician™ is a non-clinical practitioner, educator, or coach who specializes in applied neuroscience. These professionals may be certified coaches, healthcare practitioners, educators, or organizational consultants. It is important to note that Neuroplasticians are not considered medical professionals and cannot provide medical advice. Watch The Video:
  • What is the difference between a Neuroplastician™ and a Neuroscientist?
    A neuroscientist is an academic scientist who studies the nervous system, the brain, spinal cord, and neurons, to understand how they influence disease and behavior. A Neuroplastician™ uses the knowledge from the science and brings it to life by applying specific tools to increase neuroplasticity from behavior change. Increased neuroplasticity has a significantly positive impact on desired behavior, emotional processing, cognitive power, memory, creativity, health, and well-being.
  • Who can get certified as a Neuroplastician™ ?
    Every Practitioner in Applied Neuroscience has a chance to become a Certified Neuroplastician™. The level of certification depends on previous training, expertise, and artifacts in the public domain.
  • Why should I bother about becoming a Neuroplastician™?
    Neuroscience is a trending science and comes along with rising demand in professional certification programs. Many coaches, educators, and healthcare practitioners look for qualified providers to become a Certified Neuroplastician™ themselves. But there are not many. In collaboration with our training partners and over 20 highly qualified advisory board members, we have introduced the Neuroplastician™ Certification. The Neuroplastician™ Certification is not a training qualification. It is evidence of your previous qualification in applied neuroscience being effective to skill you in the practices of neuroplasticity. ​ Watch the video :
