Frequently Asked Questions
How much mindfulness experience is required to participate?
We ask that you have been familiar with mindfulness and mindful practices for at least a year. While this is an advanced training with considerable neuroscience content, a mix of people with varied experience levels have taken the course: some people who have meditated for years, and others who are establishing a regular mindfulness practice. You will be working naturally with where you are in your practice. One requirement of the certification is a daily practice journal, so even if you don’t start with a daily personal practice you will leave with one!
What is the format of the training?
Mastermind's Mindfulness Facilitator Certification course is fully online, including five on-demand modules paired with five 30-minute 1:1 virtual coaching sessions with Mastermind CEO and certification leader Dorsey Standish, MS. Other key components of the course include a daily personal practice requirement and community class teaching hours.
Who should apply for the certification?
Anyone who wants to deepen their mindfulness practice, gain mental wellness tools for a lifetime, and position themselves to make a positive impact on their communities. Common past participants include coaches, trainers, HR professionals, team leaders, wellness professionals, therapists, educators, PhD students, and consultants.
What is the application deadline?
Applications are rolling and accepted at any time.
What do you look for in potential participants?
The first thing we look for is the person’s established or growing mindfulness meditation practice. Personal practice is such an important part of being a mindfulness teacher. The other main thing we look for is kindness and an openness to learn and grow and make a difference in their community.
What is the time commitment required for the course?
Please be prepared to commit about 5 hours per week to course learning and practice for the duration of the program, which is typically completed in about four months (~3 weeks per module).
Are payment plans available?
We offer flexible payment plans to make the program as accessible as possible, including an option to spread tuition over six months.
Are tuition scholarships available?
A limited number of partial scholarships are available. These scholarships are reserved for veterans, first responders, employees of nonprofit organizations, and others who show financial need. Scholarship recipients will pay a reduced enrollment fee.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
You can apply for a tuition scholarship by sending an additional paragraph to [email protected] sharing your need/desire to receive a scholarship along with your completed application. Scholarship candidates may be asked to provide proof of financial need such as W-2 statement or tax returns.
When will I know if I was awarded a scholarship?
Please apply for the scholarship when you submit your application. We will try to let you know as soon as possible whether you will be awarded financial assistance, likely during your interview following your initial application.
Does this program guarantee a teaching spot at Mastermind?
We can’t guarantee employment with Mastermind following your completion of the certification. However, following your certification there may be an opportunity to audition with us and/or to teach a free Mastermind Community Class, which is a wonderful opportunity to gain real teaching experience.
Are Mastermind premium classes included as part of my tuition?
All Mastermind on-demand content is included for the duration of your facilitator training.
Do you offer tuition refunds?
Because of the considerable 1:1 attention offered through the interview and enrollment process, Mastermind does not offer refunds on Certification tuition.
