Our founding purpose
Quality assurance is the point
Quantitative EEG was developed in university research settings: rigorous, supervised, demanding of methodological precision. As the field has grown, so has the need for a credentialing standard that travels with the practitioner.
We cannot give you decades of laboratory experience. We can certify that your foundational training meets the standard the field requires.
What is qEEG?
By measuring brain wave activity and connectivity, QEEG provides a powerful window into brain function that can inform clinical assessment and treatment.
Why is certification important?
QEEG certification demonstrates recognized competency in quantitative EEG, validating your knowledge and skills while establishing professional credibility and recognition among peers and within the field.
Who should become qEEG certified?
QEEG certification is ideal for psychologists, neurologists, nurses, counselors, neurotherapists, and other healthcare professionals who want to deepen their understanding of brain function and develop recognized competency in quantitative EEG. It is especially valuable for professionals seeking to bring greater confidence and expertise to their brain-based work.
