After completing the 3 modules and all the tasks programed you will receive a Neurocognitive Foundations Mindfulness Teacher certificate signed by the Mindfulness Center of Excellence (United Kingdom) and the Iniciativa Mindfulness (Brazil). Therefore, you will have an international training certification. This certification will enable you to conduct lectures, workshops, groups and various works with Mindfulness in the context of promoting quality of life and creativity.

Their work can be adapted to the health, school and corporate environments, depending on their professional performance. This training does not enable the teaching of mindfulness to train other instructors or for you to practice clinical practice with mindfulness practices.
