The course was full of great information about Polyvagal Theory. I learned many new techniques to apply in coaching sessions. The presentation wasn't the most engaging. I would have loved to have seen videos of the practitioner/client examples. Graphics for the more visual learners would have been appreciated. Some modules felt a little disorganized and repetitive. There were a couple errors in the final exam, repeated answers, one missing the correct answer completely because A was repeated twice so I guess the second A was the correct answer because B was missing.
This program is very informational. However, I feel that since the program did not have any videos, it was only, textbook and audio, the modules could have been broken up better. It was very monotonous and therefore hard to hold focus for such long periods of time. I think around 45 minutes per session would have been better for optimal focus and intake of information. Otherwise, it was very thorough and interesting.
Basic marketing ideas, nothing about social media- feels outdated but nothing in this course will hurt you. If you have NO previous marketing information you may pick up something new. Easy enough information for a beginner to understand.
While a bit repetative, I think there is value in hearing key concepts and interventions to promote integration of the person centered approach. I do caution the promotion of practioner using 'art and music therapy' when they are not certified to offer this particular therapeutic modalities. Language like this can be misleading both to learners in this course and to the future indiviudals and families that they interact with. Rather, encouraging the use and integration of art and music (ie. art as therapeutic vs. Art Therapy) as helpful. should be used. This differentiation will minimize the 'scope of practice creep' that both diminishes the educational credentials of professional and registered Expressive Therapists and will minimize potential and unintentional harm that could come from engaging in art therapy processing.
There was plenty of great content in here and the case study which followed through each module helped you look at it from a real life client perspective. That said I would have like to see different scripts for different scenarios.
For those considering taking this course, it is all reading, or listening to the verbatim text. There is no modelling graphics or animations or videos. Some of the templates are helpful but in most cases I had better ones of my own.
Finally I was intrigued that there is quite some intense visualisation and even hypnotherapy. This did concern me and certainly something I would not be engaging in with my clients without supervised training
I believe having some tutorial videos might help support learning and understanding for people taking this course and lighten up the load of all the reading.
In my opinion too much technicalities, too little practical applications. If I wanted an introduction to Neurosciences i could have just bought a book knowing that there are 26 synapses sizes helps me be a better coach how exactly ?
I thought this was a good course, but I think, particularly in the early stages certain terminology should be explained clearly. Same with example questions, they ask things you might not have much knowledge (or any) on yet. The example answers are helpful, but the course could use more time explaining things instead of just in bullet points most of the time. The case studies were very helpful and insights about studies done. I didn't like the robotic AI recording so I opted to not use it at all. Videos of this would be good too with an actual teacher. I kept feeling that a lot of this course was generated not fully by a human as it felt rushed, with a lot of repetition in some modules.
It says I can retake the final exam. I got distracted although I did pass the test. I clicked where it said click but I was unable to correct anything.
EL curso te da un amplio y profundo contenido teorico sobre neurociencias, como funciona el cerebro, el sistema nervioso, las teorias y estudios de cada punto trabajado, ahora si lo que buscas es como realmente aplicarlo y convertirte en coach con el, no da muchas herramientas
I understand that this is basically an introductory course, and so there are going to be various methods and techniques that it doesn't cover in depth. But I do wish it went into more specific techniques. Also, when I started the course, it was marked as 8 modules. But when I got to #8, there were suddenly 10. Module 8 didn't match what I had initially downloaded. On the final test, the vast majority of the questions were not covered in the modules that it said they were from. I passed, but it didn't give the answers, so I'm not sure if I missed any, or which ones.
While informative, there were a number of concerning errors or misleading statements which I felt took away from the authenticity of the training. Overstating and overselling are not necessary when there are so many legitimate studies and proven benefits to discuss.
Some thought provoking content along with some "woo woo" content
I've been practicing equine therapy for a few years now, and took this course for the certificate. Some of the content is very relevant and helpful for session design and client interactions. The way the course described designing session arcs to slowly build difficulty was helpful. The module on eco-spiritual practices was a bit too much for me, and the spiritual discussions in the course are almost exclusively centered around nature spirituality. The course excludes any kind of ridden work, and does not contain any practical activities. It is all principle-based and big picture.
