Certification Description

This ten-week training, specially designed for coaches, counselors and tutors, offers an in-depth working knowledge in the theory and tools of the BPM. This comprehensive, evidence-based performance model was developed in 40 years of clinical work, research and self-study by Dr. Ben Bernstein, and is the core of his three published books.

The training will cover learning the model and applying it— to one’s self, and to the variety of issues that impact student performance. It includes sessions that are didactic and interactive, as well as supervision as you apply the work to your students.

This is an opportunity for coaches, counselors and tutors to deepen and expand their repertoire of knowledge and tools for improving student performance, and, as a BPM Specialist, work with others interested in performance enhancement.

STRUCTURE

The training uses Dr. B’s online course, Crush Your Test Anxiety, which trainees cover in depth through weekly one hour sessions with Dr. B.  In the sessions we work on learning and applying the model: first to one’s one life and work and then as it applies to issues that arise with students. Case studies are used all through the training.
