Online vs In-Person Facilitator Training

This course page explains the differences between online and in-person facilitator training for students preparing to work in Oregon’s regulated psilocybin services field. It outlines how programs deliver academic instruction, structure supervised practicum, and support professional readiness. The page describes a hybrid training model in which core coursework may be completed online through live virtual classes, recorded lectures, discussions, and independent modules. Topics include facilitation skills, safety screening, ethical practice, and preparation and integration support. It also explains the role of in-person practicum in a licensed psilocybin service center, where students observe sessions, receive feedback, and build confidence applying theory in practice. The content is aimed at prospective facilitators evaluating training formats based on schedule, learning style, and career goals.
