Feuerstein Forum and CPD seminar opportunities:

We are trying to provide CPD seminar training opportunities linked to Feuerstein Forum and more advanced Workshop provision on a more regional basis. For example, from the Wellington Feuerstein Forum in September a number of the participants have earned CPD credits for attending a CPD seminar.

Continuous Professional Development (CPD):

The International Feuerstein Institute has requirements for renewal of a certificate as an Instrumental Enrichment mediator, for those who are using the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment programs in a professional capacity.

A certificate is valid for four years from its issue date. It is renewed subject to the conditions outlined below:

Each graduate of the Feuerstein courses (IE Standard, IE Basic) who implemented the IE programme must file an implementation report using the on-line filing system. The submission should reflect at least 30 hours of work. Each training i.e. FIE level 1, FIE level 2, requires submission of its own verification form (one time after each course). The website for implementation reports is https://www.123contactform.com/form-823555/
A total of 8 CPD credits earned over a 4 year period is required to complete the CPD requirements and renew certification. The initial course is included in the calculation and is equivalent to 2 CPD credits. It is possible to earn the remaining credits in three different ways (or a combination of any of the three options:
1. By attending a local ‘live’ CPD seminar organised by the Feuerstein Forum team. Each one attended will earn 2 CPD credits. Each seminar must include at least half-a-day study (4 hours). Payment is via the Feuerstein Forum, and has to cover the $25 US per person the Feuerstein Forum has to pay per participant to the Feuerstein Institute. The Feuerstein Forum is attempting to provide annual regional Feuerstein Forum in each region which can also count as CPD credit to make this option more viable throughout the country. The seminars will be advertised on this web site.
2. By watching on-line CPD lectures via the CPD international website. Each complete lecture viewed will earn you 1 CPD credit. Payment is 25 Euro per lecture via the CPD site. The website is http://cpd.icelp.info/
3. By attending additional courses during the four year period. This involves regular course payment, with no additional payment for CPD credit. Each course earns 2 CPD credits.

Instrumental Enrichment graduates who fulfill CPD requirements during a 4 year period since they took their first IE course will receive a permanent IE mediator certificate for all courses taken during this period, without an expiration date.

Special note for those that need 2017 certificates: Write to Professor Alex Kozulin (alexk@icelp.org.il) requesting a copy of all of your certificates, giving details of workshops, dates etc. for each, (including the 2017 workshop) and also ask for information regarding the status of your accreditation. This will cost you a small fee in Euro.
