Schema Therapy Training Tuition Options
Flexible, Transparent, and Globally Accessible
High-quality schema therapy training should remain accessible to clinicians worldwide; therefore, our tuition structure is intentionally designed to be fair, flexible, and transparent. At the same time, this structure reflects global economic differences and humanitarian realities, which allows clinicians from diverse regions to participate meaningfully.
To support these goals, several tuition pathways are available. First, a one-time payment option allows participants to pay in full and receive the lowest total cost; alternatively, an installment plan spreads tuition across four equal payments to increase affordability. Finally, tiered tuition rates (A–D) follow the World Bank country income classifications from July 2025 and incorporate humanitarian considerations when appropriate.
Importantly, the country of residence during training determines the applicable tuition tier; consequently, citizenship does not affect pricing.

Supervision Tuition
Supervision follows the same tiered tuition structure used throughout this page; as a result, rates vary according to country of residence and humanitarian context rather than supervision format alone. Specifically, Tier A supervision reflects high-income economies, whereas Tier B supervision aligns with upper-middle income regions. Meanwhile, Tier C supervision corresponds to lower-middle-income contexts. Tier D supervision applies in humanitarian or conflict-affected situations, including Ukraine.
