Registration Requirements
To enrol in this Neurofeedback Training Course for Mental Health Practitioners, all candidates must have a minimum of a BA/BS degree in a BCIA-approved health care field completed at a regionally accredited academic institution (an Accredited Institution of Post-secondary Education as determined by the American Council on Education). All International applicants for BCIA certification programs, outside of the US and Canada, must carry a valid government-issued license/credential that regulates clinical health care practice.
BCIA-approved health care fields include psychology, medicine, nursing (including two-year registered nurses with license, not LVNs or LPNs), physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, counseling, marriage family therapy, rehabilitation, chiropractic, recreational therapy, physician’s assistant (with certification or license), exercise physiology, speech pathology, and sports medicine. The following fields require a master’s degree: music therapy and counseling education (MEd in counseling).
When using neurofeedback to treat a medical or psychological disorder, you are required to hold a current license/credential issued by the state in which you practice in a BCIA-approved health care field. Without this license/credential, you must agree to work under the legal supervision of an appropriately credentialed health care professional when working with a medical or psychological disorder. This supervisor should have training and experience with neurofeedback and clinical experience with the populations and disorders being treated.
- The Australian candidates must already be registered for independent health practice in one of the 15 professions regulated by AHPRA.

Practicing neurofeedback requires some specialized equipment. EEGer’s training kit will include everything you need to setup and conduct neurofeedback trainings. You, however, will need to supply a computer with certain minimum requirements and we also highly recommend acquiring a second monitor.
EEGer Training Kit (ETK):
- EEGer4 software enable for live sessions with USB security key.
- High-quality 2-channel EEG amplifier.
- 2-channel set of non-disposable silver electrode sensors (2 flats, 2 earclips)
- Ten20 conductive paste and NuPrep skin prep gel samples
The Premium Kit also includes:
- Extra backup 2-channel set of electrodes
- Clinical Nuprep, 4oz supply
- Clinical Ten20, 24oz supply
- Ardea game
- Extra stacking jumper
- Extra personal tech session with EEGer’s expert tech support team
You provide:
- Desktop/Laptop that meets these minimum requirements.
- Second monitor (recommended/optional)
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cotton balls or pads
- Wipes or paper towel
How the bundle purchase process works:
- Clicking the “Register Now” button will take you to the checkout page for the Neurofeedback Clinical Pathway Bundle where you may confirm and complete your purchase.
- The EEGer sales team will confirm your purchase, begin putting your training kit together, and notify you when it is on its way. In the meantime, you can double check to ensure your computer meets these minimum requirements for EEGer’s software. We also recommend acquiring a second monitor, but it is not required. If you have any questions about your computer set up, you can contact EEGer Store tech support at support@eegstore.com.
- For the EEGer software, they have a self-install option as well as a guided installation option. When your training kit is shipped, their tech support team will reach out to you to schedule an individual installation session. Whichever method you prefer, they have you covered.
Don’t forget the rubbing alcohol, cotton balls/pads, and wipes!
Because EEGer is classified as a medical device, your system will be using a limited software license. This type of license requires the involvement of a mentor to set up protocols. Once you have completed the course and successfully run a few sessions with your mentor, the EEGer Team will upgrade your software license to the full version. At this stage, you will have a month to continue learning before you will choose how to proceed with EEGer. This may be beginning a monthly subscription, choosing a payment plan that meets the needs of you and your practice, or returning parts of the training kit if you feel EEGer isn’t right for you.
