TLC Training and Certification is organized around 7 practical skills we believe—based on more than a dozen years of working with clients—will make you an effective trainer.

1. Quickly and accurately find sites on the head based on the international 10/20 system.

2. Quickly and effectively place leads on the head to achieve good signal quality, plug them into the amplifier with an understanding of the functions of active, reference and ground leads and the effects of monopolar and bipolar montages, and remove and clean them without leaving a mess.

3. Recognize artifact in the EEG signal and minimize it in assessment and training sessions.

4. Assess the client's symptom constellation, goals and brain activation patterns and use them to create and test a training plan to move the client in desired directions at a minimum of cost. For help with the development of training plans, you can use our ABCD Assessment Service.

5. Educate the client and support system about brain training in terms they understand. Motivate the client and support system to maintain a positive focus, notice changes and generalize effects throughout the training process.

6. Evaluate and report performance and activation changes in a timely and understandable way.

7. Determine when to change protocols and when to terminate training.
