Certification in NeuroGraphica®

Curious about NeuroGraphica® certification? Explore two clear paths—for personal growth or sharing the method with others.
Certification in NeuroGraphica®
When my students catch the NeuroGraphica® bug, one of the first questions they ask is:
“What are my options for using NeuroGraphica® professionally?”
The answer depends on whether you want to deepen your personal practice or share NeuroGraphica with others. Let’s explore both paths.
Two Paths: Practitioner or Teacher
Basic User Course – The Starting Point for Everyone
The Basic User Course is the foundational course in NeuroGraphica®. If you’re interested in learning this tool, this is where you begin.
- It is the prerequisite for all certification courses affiliated with the Psychology of Creativity Institute.
- By completing this course, you will:
- Gain a solid understanding of the Basic Algorithm and the Ten Principles of NeuroGraphica®.
- Be able to use NeuroGraphica® to enhance your life.
- Have everything you need to continue drawing for personal growth—without taking additional courses.
🔹 Note: Professor Piskarev recommends completing 40 drawings with 40 full written reflections to truly master the Algorithm for Removing Limitations, which is the core of NeuroGraphica®.
Once you’ve completed the Basic User Course, you can continue drawing for personal transformation—or, if you feel called to share this work with others, you can pursue certification.
As of this writing, there are two certification paths available in English:
Path 1: NeuroGraphica® Specialist
Specialist – Using NeuroGraphica® in an Existing Practice
If you are a coach, therapist, or wellness professional who works directly with clients—and have the appropriate liability coverage—the Specialist Course may be the right path for you.
- In this course, you’ll learn four algorithms specifically designed for one-on-one coaching, plus four additional algorithms suitable for group or individual coaching sessions.
- Specialist rights are specific and limited, so be sure to research the course thoroughly before enrolling.
- Only a handful of instructors teach this course in English. Contact me if you need recommendations!
Path 2: NeuroGraphica® Instructor
Instructor – Teaching and Creating Your Own Models
If you want full teaching rights and the ability to create your own NeuroGraphica® models, you will need to complete the Instructor Course.
- This nine-month intensive program covers:
- All previous certification courses (Basic User, Advanced Algorithms, and Specialist).
- Homework, testing, essays, and feedback.
- While there are no official prerequisites, I strongly recommend completing:
- The Basic User Course
- All Advanced Algorithm Courses
- The Specialist Course
💡 Why? From personal experience, I’ve seen that students who complete these courses first are far better prepared for the demands of the Instructor Course—and enjoy it more.
💰 Bonus: The Psychology of Creativity Institute credits the cost of your previous trainings toward the Instructor Course tuition, so there’s no financial downside for taking the full recommended path.
Final Thoughts
Whether you choose to deepen your personal practice or become certified to teach and coach others, NeuroGraphica® offers a path that fits your goals.
