Price & payment
Certificate Bundle – 30% less then purchasing each individual workshop
The certificate course bundle includes all the workshops required to complete the Free2BMe Certificate in Neuro-affirming Practice:
That's 25hrs of training and a CPD-approved* Certificate on completion for only £280 (or £210 concession price) and 30% off the stand-alone workshops.
If you would like to attend more than one of our neurodiversity focused supervision groups, we will also offer a 15% discount on our supervision groups for 12 months - this is exclusively for certificate participants.
Please note that the CPD-approved certificate is only for the LIVE online course. We do have on-demand recorded options if you are unable to attend all live sessions, but this will not result in the CPD-approved award. We will, however, provide confirmation of learning hours completed for all elements of the course.
We will make the bundle available when we have confirmed dates for the Autumn cohort

Payment options
Accessibility and affordability are important to us. While we are unable to afford to offer any free places at this time, we are offering several payment options, including instalment payments. There is no interest on the instalments, and we will not penalise anybody with higher fees for paying monthly. The payment options are below:
Pay in full on booking (debit/credit cards accepted at checkout via Stripe secure payment gateway)
Pay in 3 monthly instalments
Pay in 6 monthly instalments
Pay in 10 monthly instalments
If you opt to pay in instalments, then the payments must be finished before your final certificate is issued to you (although we can give confirmation of learning hours completed before that if needed). If the instalment plan is cancelled at any time, then your place on the course may be rescinded. If you are experiencing financial difficulty and cannot make the instalment payments at any time, please contact us and we will look at how we can support.
Concession rates
These are for trainees and those who are on a low income or unwaged. As a guide, Turn2Us suggest that "low income" would be less than £296/week, but we don't check on this - we rely on people's own honest assessment of their own needs and affordability to decide if they are eligible for a concession place. If the concession rate and instalment options are still not affordable for you, please contact us at info@free2bmeneurodiversity.com and we are happy to discuss your situation and needs.
All of our training and supervision sessions are designed and led by neurodivergent professionals with a wealth of experience working with neurodivergent people in clinical and coaching practice.
