3 Steps to
Brain Science Certification
Coursework
The Brain Science Advantage for Coaches lays the foundation for Brain Science Certification.
This 8-week course is a comprehensive overview of all of the latest brain and behavioral science--a distillation of hundreds of books and thousands of scientific papers into practical, actionable, and easy-to-understand tools and strategies for coaches. You'll receive 40+ hours of training through on-demand sessions, live group discussions, exercises, and readings.
Coursework focuses on four of the most common challenges coaches tackle with clients:
Habits
Productivity
Overcoming Fear
Happiness
The Brain Science Advantage Course can be taken alone or as a first step toward Brain Science Certification. The course alone qualifies for 30 CCE hours with ICF.

Mentorship
As soon as you’ve completed The Brain Science Advantage for Coaches, you can start your Mentorship sessions. These are 12 private, one-on-one coaching sessions directly with James.
In your Mentorship sessions, you’ll choose one or two areas from the course that were particularly interesting to you and we’ll spend three months diving deep on each topic. You’ll be able to explore your questions, get advice about specific client scenarios you’re facing, and work through challenges and obstacles you’ve encountered as a coach.
In order to meet the requirements for certification, coaches must complete 12 Mentorship sessions with James. These are scheduled on a weekly basis. (If you have a conflict here or there, we understand and we'll work with you to reschedule for the following week. Don't worry -- we'll make sure you get all 12 sessions!)
The goal of these sessions is to get you fully confident that you know every bit of science in your chosen focus area so that you can start marketing yourself as an expert in that area (whether it’s overcoming procrastination, beating burnout, making or breaking habits, building confidence, or any other area of the course that really spoke to you).
Not only will you sharpen the focus of your expertise through Mentorship, you’ll also have the chance to explore what the science means to you personally on your own journey toward transformation.

Masterclass
After you’ve completed The Brain Science Advantage for Coaches and your Mentorship, you’ll join a community of other coaches who are also working to apply, integrate and fine-tune the knowledge, skills, and tools they’ve learned in the course. You’ll deepen your expertise and broaden your toolkit by learning how other coaches are applying brain science in their practices.
The Masterclass is a regularly scheduled live Zoom meeting facilitated by James Garrett once per week. James chooses a brain science-based theme each month, and introduces new information on that theme each week, before opening up a group discussion centered on workshopping and idea-sharing.
Each Masterclass session lasts 60 minutes. To meet the requirements for Brain Science Certification, coaches must complete 26 Masterclass hours, the equivalent of attending weekly sessions for six months.
The Masterclass can be joined by any coach who has completed the Brain Science Advantage for Coaches. It can be joined on its own or as the final step toward full Brain Science Certification. And coaches are welcome to stay on as part of the Masterclass even after they’ve completed their 6 months that goes toward their certification!
The Masterclass is where our coaches really develop unshakeable confidence in their ability to use the right science-based tool with the right client–every time!
