If further case studies still fail to meet the required standard then you may be required to reattend a live event for further training before resubmitting again.

Frequently asked questions
What happens when I apply for certification?
Is certification permanent?
This is a one-off purchase and is NOT a subscription model. One price to get unlimited access to the material.
What if I’ve only completed online training?
The information contained during the programme can be applied to all anxieties. Once you truly understand the principles at play, it can help you in all the areas you have been anxious about.
Does it just work? Do I have to do anything?
Of course! This is NOT a passive 'just sit back whilst we administer the treatment' process. This is about giving you great quality information, strategies and approaches that can shift your thinking. If you watch the videos, apply the principles, and ask questions (if needed) then you are likely to see some significant shifts in becoming free from anxiety.
