Data updated
Netherlands
Netherlands-based global education, research, and community platform founded in 2017 by Hein Pijnnaken in Brielle, initially as Microdosing.nl and relaunched internationally as Microdosing Institute in 2020, positioned as Europe's first microdosing community with over 6,000 members. Microdosing Institute offers a 6-Week Microdosing Immersion, a Microdosing Facilitator Program, and academic research facilitation, and co-founded the International Microdosing Association alongside James Fadiman.

Blossom’s read
Microdosing Institute looks like a credible, niche microdosing education platform rather than a mainstream regulated training provider. Its strengths are clear lineage into the early modern microdosing scene, with founder Hein Pijnnaken and a long association with James Fadiman, plus a strong emphasis on community, research, and harm reduction. It seems best for people already working, or hoping to work, in coaching, wellness, facilitation or psychedelic-adjacent support who want structured microdosing-specific guidance, but it does not present itself as a government-recognised qualification.
Who Microdosing Institute is for
Best suited to coaches, therapists, wellness practitioners, and other aspiring microdosing guides who want practical support and ethical framing. The public 6-week immersion also suits curious individuals with legal access to psilocybin-containing materials who want to explore microdosing more safely and consciously.
Prerequisites
For the 6-week immersion, applicants must have legal access to psilocybin-containing sacred earth medicines such as mushrooms or truffles, which they source themselves; the substance is not provided. For the facilitator programme, admission is open to people who have demonstrated motivation and commitment during participation in the 6-week immersion, though prior microdosing experience is not required.
Accreditation & recognition
Microdosing Institute states that facilitator graduates are not granted a licence, certificate, or credits recognised by governmental or educational institutions other than Microdosing Institute. Graduates receive a Microdosing Institute certification of completion and may market themselves as a 'Microdosing Institute Certified Facilitator'. No CE or CME credit is indicated on the sources reviewed.
Cost
The 6-week immersion is listed at €599 incl. VAT on one current page, with an older Spanish page showing €786 excl. VAT, suggesting pricing has changed over time. The facilitator programme is listed at €4500 excluding VAT, for an 8-month online study, with payment plans available and some discounts for full payment. The facilitator page also mentions extensive materials and practicum support, including a 300+ page manual.
What you walk away with
Learners walk away with microdosing-specific frameworks, harm-reduction and integration skills, coaching practicums, and access to a professional community. Facilitator graduates receive Microdosing Institute completion certification and the ability to present themselves as Microdosing Institute Certified Facilitators, but not a state-recognised professional credential.
