What makes this programme unique?
- It distills complex, cutting edge Neuroscience research into tools that are understandable and immediately useful.
- It is the first of its kind anywhere. Professor of Applied Neuroscience Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott have been collaborating to make current state of the art neuroscience available in a practical format.
- It combines Patricia’s many years experience in teaching and researching psychology and neuroscience with Ian’s in delivering real behavioural change for individuals, teams and organisations.
- It covers a wide range of applications in just 10 days: motivation, creativity, memory, emotion regulation, stress, resilience and decision making among others.
Who is this programme for?
Anyone who wishes to enhance both personal and professional life by gaining a deeper understanding of the brain and how to work with it.
Individuals
Teams
Organisations
The tools instantly apply to most of the important areas of human activity.
You might choose to take this programme for interest sake, or, if you wish a higher level of credibility, you might choose to work towards a Certificate in Applied Neuroscience and/or a Practitioner in Brain and Behaviour Change.
No prior training is required.
What is Applied Neuroscience
and what can it do for you?
Understanding a little of how the brain works can create significantly more insight into the sometimes mystifying complexities of the behaviour of your team, your colleagues, your boss – even your family.
Right now there is a lot of buzz around neuroscience but too often not much real practical neuroscience. Learn how to apply current research so individuals, teams and organisations can be more effective.
What graduates of this programme have to say
“Patricia is able to put across complex concepts in the clear, humorous and (dare I say it) compassionate way that in my experience only masters of their subject can achieve. The speed at which neuroscience knowledge is developing is increasing exponentially and new things will be learnt that may have only been 'discovered' a week or two ago. The awareness of how the main parts of the brain are involved in how we take information in, react and think allows one to be more effective in influencing change in oneself and others. The knowledge we have gained serves to underpin and provide even greater credibility to the coaching and therapeutic processes we use. It's little gems like "it only takes six minutes of sleep to consolidate learning" that just get dropped in and you think "Wow"that are so invaluable.”
Richard Morley (Health Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Trainer)
“A scientific framing can help anyone in any field explain anything more credibly. This course is a must for you to understand your biases. The tempo, timing and handouts were excellent. The pre-programme videos are a great idea. I love content so I could have had four days a month and still not been satisfied.”
Niki Natarajan (Independent Writer - Photographer - Communications Adviser)

“Understanding why we do what we do from a neuroscience perspective can give us more choices. I was surprised how easy it was to link neuroscience in a practical way, adding more tools to my toolkit. This programme is making neuroscience accessible, understandable and something you can use in the real world.”
Kim Lyddon (International Trainer, Speaker and Success Coach)
“You will gain a deep insight into how and why we do the things we do as human beings and you'll be able to apply this easily and immediately to any aspect of life and work. You'll be able to provide insights and create meaningful value for your clients and this will differentiate you in the marketplace. Not only will you understand what works and why but more importantly you'll be able to convey this to clients or colleagues in a way that will improve their own understanding of how you can help them achieve their goals. ”
Gerry Murray (Solutions Partner/Coach/Trainer)
“The content is stunning and Patricia is an expert. I love her style and depth of knowledge. A master of the craft with an easy presentation style, tough mind and a willingness to call pseudo-science. She is passionate about coaching and science, a pleasure to study with and also incredibly humble. Ian is an accomplished trainer who is at the cutting edge of pulling multiple disciplines together to improve the effectiveness of NLP and coaching. You only realise the length of the journey at the end.”
