Mission Statement

The mission of the QEEG certification board is to certify professional individuals who are functioning in the field of Quantitative Electroencephalography on three levels: Technician, Technologist and Diplomate.

It is the goal of the board to:

1. Maintain high professional standards in terms of knowledge of the current research in the area and
2. Apply that knowledge in the treatment of individuals seeking interventions with the technology.

Description of QEEG Certification

The QEEG Certification Board has been in existence since 1995 certifying professionals at three levels, Technician, Technologist, Diplomate (ranked from lowest certification level to highest).

There are over 100 Technologists and Diplomates listed on the website.
     Certificants: please provide updated information when appropriate.

Certifications

• Technician

  • Technician status may be obtained by recommendation by a QEEG Diplomate or recognized professional in the field.
  • This level of certification is only valid when under the direct supervision of a Diplomate.
    
    

• Technologist & Diplomate

  • To qualify to take the written examination, an individual must have documentation that they are hardware/software competent to conduct a QEEG evaluation and/or EEG biofeedback session.
  • Competence can be demonstrated by recommendation of a current Diplomate or recognizable professional in the field.
    The statement needs to be emailed to Kirt Thornton at ket@chp-neurotherapy.com and received prior to the applicant being provided the password which will allow them access to PDF reading list.
  • The awarded level (Technologist, Diplomate) is determined by the score on the written exam.
  • Individual examination sessions can be arranged.
    The exam is generally given at the ISNR conference.

Certificates are provided upon successful completion of the requirements.

At this point in time, there is no recertification required, no CEU’s are required for maintenance of status, and there are no annual dues. The board may require administrative fees from its certificants from time to time to maintain financial solvency.
