Here is a list of upcoming approved courses that count towards licensure and/or re-licensure. Some courses are available online. All licensed instructors are independent contractors and therefore handle their own course registration process including fees, schedules, and locations. Brain Gym® Australia (BGA), as an official affiliate of Brain Gym® International (BGI), licenses instructors in Australia to use the work in a responsible and ethical manner. While BGI can influence the course content, it cannot control the business decisions independent contractors make.
A sponsor is also an independent contractor and is someone who hires an instructor to come and teach a course for them. Please contact the instructor or sponsor directly for more information.
Check with an individual instructor about the availability of online courses. Instructors can also assist NDIS clients.
Check the Brain Gym International website for international courses.
Introductory Workshops are short courses which may be a couple of hours up to a day long. These courses introduce participants to the Brain Gym program & teach a number of the movements. They are taught by licensed Brain Gym Instructors and are a great way to experience the benefits of the movements. Please click on the heading tab above (Introductory Workshops) to see the Introductory Workshops available now.
Pilot Courses are accredited with Brain Gym® International and can be taken for re-licensure credit points. There are no Pilot Courses available at present.
