Certification

CertificateUpon successful completion of the certification requirements, you will receive the Brown University Certificate in MBSR Teaching from the School of Professional Studies and an online certificate badge for sharing your achievement digitally.

Continuing Education Units:

In addition to receiving a certificate of completion, participants may be eligible to receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs)* for participation in our mindfulness programming. To determine if and how the continuing education hours obtained in our courses apply to professional certification, licensing, or required training, please check directly with your training department or licensing authority and review their documentation requirements.

Students are responsible for verifying if this course qualifies for their organization's tuition reimbursement program (if applicable) or towards professional certification requirements. Brown is not able to provide documentation beyond the Certificate of Completion and course materials that are provided as part of the course.

* Note that CEU redemption varies by credentialing body, for the exact number of CEUs, please visit the website of your specific license, certification, or exam.
