You’ll be able to create laser focused instructions, provide timely and informative feedback, and create a positive learning environment for you and your learners. Your learners will experience fun and success and they'll be motivated to learn more with you. You'll have fun too. You'll love your teaching time even more!
Course Duration, Cost and Equipment
You complete the course at your own pace and from wherever you have internet access. The course takes approximately 9 hours to complete not including the time for the home exercises and to read the reading materials.
The cost ($400) is paid by credit card or paypal. This includes the Level 1 Certification.
There are no extra fees for text books or supplemental materials. You will need a "tagger" (also known as a clicker - available at many pet supply stores). You need to have internet access.

A Powerful and Simple Approach
The simplicity and power of this approach are remarkable. The extent to which the Founders of this movement have been able to continuously adapt, improve, and apply this simplistic approach to new and different populations and applications is stunning.

What LeARNER'S ARE SAYING
"This was an excellent course! The content was very clear and the format was easy to use. The videos, practice exercises and worksheets combined to make the online learning experience much like an in-person, hands-on class.
The material is consistent with the current research and practice in the science of human behavior. I strongly recommend this training to anyone in a position to teach others or help them to develop beneficial habits!"
