a.A practical introduction to applied neuroscience and brain health for professionals in coaching, education, leadership and wellbeing

The Brain Coach Bootcamp is an intensive two-week online training in applied neuroscience and brain health.

The curriculum, fees and certification options are identical to those offered in the slower paced 12-week Neuroscience Academy.

Now in its 10th year, the curriculum is built on a decade of teaching, refining, and leading the way in applied neuroscience online education. I’ve had the privilege of training thousands of professionals around the world – and if you’re serious about using brain science in your work, this is where to start.

b.What role does neuroscience play in your work?

If you work with people – supporting their growth, learning, health, or behaviour – you’ve likely seen how powerful neuroscience explanations can be. They can bring clarity, shift perspectives, and spark change.

But good science deserves careful use.

You’ll explore what the science really says (and what it doesn’t), and learn how to apply it thoughtfully in your work.

You'll learn to:

  • Understand the brain in the context of behaviour, learning, and wellbeing

  • Use neuroscience responsibly to support change

  • Design neuroscience-informed tools and frameworks for your practice

Whether you're a therapist, coach, educator, or healthcare professional, this course is designed to deepen your knowledge and strengthen your work with others.

"I have known Sarah since we were graduate students. She was always an extremely sharp thinker about science; she likes to challenge things but with an openness to possibility. It's hard to maintain sharp-edged curiosity without becoming cynical. Sarah did that as a graduate student and she does that now."

Professor Andrew Huberman. The Huberman Lab Podcast.

c. Enrolment in the Brain Coach Bootcamp will give you lifetime access to:

++ 17 online video lectures taught over two intensive weeks. Students should commit to two to three hours per day Mon-Fri for the two-week training. All online lectures now with closed captions.

++ Daily live Zoom Q&A sessions and class breakout rooms with Sarah. See FAQs for details.

++ Live training on how to 'use' neuroscience thoughtfully. Students will develop neuroscience-informed content (the ‘what’) and neuroscience-informed tools for delivering coaching (the ‘how’).

++ Summary notes and worksheets are available for every lesson. You’ll always have handy access to the most important concepts from each lesson.

++ Extensive hand-picked library of resources, including open-access research papers, books, TEDx talks, articles, and interviews.

++ Step-by-step guides on how to source, read, and understand scientific research articles.

++ A growing library of in-depth interviews with academics and experts in gut-brain health, positive psychology in coaching, education, and healthy ageing.

++ Upon successfully completing an online quiz, students are awarded a certificate in Applied Neuroscience & Brain Health, equivalent to 40 hours CPD (ICF accredited).

"I got exactly what I wanted out of the course, which is a deeper understanding of the neuroscience that underpins coaching people to their ultimate goals. I'm certainly a more effective coach for having studied this course.

The course is incredibly well structured with a natural flow to the order of learning. The pre-recorded lesson presentations are delivered with genuine enthusiasm that keeps you engaged. There are so many useful resources provided to accompany the course.

The live Q&A sessions were an excellent medium to discuss the lessons and get more out of them than what's in the material. It's great to be connected with like-minded people from various backgrounds through the community that is created by being a part of The Neuroscience Academy."
