Italy

Italian professional education platform for mental health practitioners, offering over 350 on-demand webinars, courses, and live events with continuing medical education (ECM) credits. Founded in 2004 by psychologist Alessandro Carmelita and Valeria Idini, ISC delivers cutting-edge training to clinicians internationally, including a course on mindfulness, compassion, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Blossom’s read

ISC Training looks like a substantial Italian continuing-education platform rather than a niche psychedelic school. Its strongest fit appears to be licensed mental health professionals who already work clinically and want structured, practice-oriented teaching in Schema Therapy, attachment, trauma, and related experiential approaches, with some psychedelic-adjacent material rather than a standalone psychedelic programme. The lineage is credible within that lane: the public-facing material repeatedly centres Alessandro Carmelita, with references to training in Schema Therapy, EFT, AEDP and international experts, but the overall reputation signal is more 'established professional CPD hub' than 'flagship psychedelic institution'.

Who ICS is for

Best suited to psychologists, psychotherapists, and other mental health clinicians seeking CPD/ECM-backed online training, especially those working with trauma, attachment, schema work, and integrative experiential methods. It is less clearly aimed at the general public or at people seeking a dedicated psychedelic facilitation pathway.

Prerequisites

The site content points to professional training for mental health practitioners, and many events are framed for psychologists and psychotherapists. I did not find a clearly stated universal entry requirement for the psychedelic-related course itself beyond professional audience framing.

Accreditation & recognition

ISC Training states that many courses and events offer ECM credits, with some on-demand courses offering up to 32 or 36 ECM and live events also listing ECM availability. The site also says ECM accreditation can be added optionally via eBook for some on-demand courses, and that completion and quiz requirements must be finished within the accreditation period. I did not find independent confirmation of international accreditation for the psychedelic-related material specifically.

Cost

Pricing on the site is mid-range professional CPD pricing rather than low-cost public education. Examples found include an on-demand course at 129 euro, another discounted from 400 euro to 189 euro, and a live certification training listed at 1,390 euro after discount from 1,590 euro. Some courses include slides/materials and sometimes optional ECM add-ons via eBook; access is often described as unlimited or 'yours forever'.

What you walk away with

Learners appear to gain practical clinical techniques, structured exposure to specific therapeutic models, and, where applicable, ECM credits. For some live programmes the outcome is described as certification-oriented training, while on-demand courses are framed more as competence-building CPD than formal standalone qualifications.
