How long Does Training Take?
Training typically takes approximately 30-60 sessions depending upon the complexity of the disorder. Frequency of the training varies from 2-3 times per week for a period of 4 months to 1 year. Progress can generally be noticed after about 20 training sessions. Changes in behavior in the home or classroom can usually be noticed after 2 to 4 months of training.
Training usually lasts five years, full-time. Part-time training is proportionately longer. The five years usually includes one year (full or part time) on an academic course, and 48 months in higher specialist training posts. Academic study Shortly after being accepted on to a training scheme, trainees are likely to spend a year in a part or full-time academic course that will usually lead to a Masters or Diploma in Public Health, and give most of the basic training to take the Faculty’s Part A Membership Examination. Although this is usually done as the first part of the higher specialist training programme, periods spent on academic courses do not count towards the 48 months of higher medical training required for the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). Flexible training Every post in public health is potentially available as a part-time post. Trainees should consult with their Faculty Adviser for more information on training part-time.

For clinical conditions, neurofeedback is often used as an additional, short-term treatment, along with more traditional therapy, including medication. For specific performance enhancement such as in sports, public speaking and the workplace, neurofeedback can be a short-term treatment by itself. Initially, sessions occur frequently, from two or more sessions per week. Sessions last approximately 45 minutes. Since neurofeedback is a learning process that involves training, results occur over time. For most conditions, progress in seen within about 10 sessions. For ADHD, about 20-40 sessions may be needed, depending on severity, medication, etc. Once the brain learns to regulate itself properly, it remembers what it learns and works more efficiently.
