Course Provider
Psychedelic-assisted therapy training arm co-founded by Beckley Waves and guided by Amanda Feilding, drawing on the Beckley Foundation's pioneering research. Offers cohort-based and self-managed courses for licensed mental health professionals in ketamine-, psilocybin-, and MDMA-assisted therapy, and published the first open-source Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Learning Framework.
Beckley Academy looks like a serious, lineage-rich player in the psychedelic training space rather than a broad consumer education brand. Its strongest fit is for licensed clinicians and adjacent professionals who want relational, trauma-informed training grounded in the Beckley Foundation’s research ecosystem, but it is not itself a regulator or licensing body. The tone and faculty suggest a considered, ethically minded programme, though the public-facing marketing is quite polished and the claims are mostly about educational quality rather than externally validated outcomes.
Best suited to licensed mental health professionals, and in the broader introductory course also to other care professionals such as doctors, nurses, therapists, coaches, ceremonial practitioners, and harm reduction specialists. The main relational course appears to be aimed at people already working in therapeutic or legally authorised psychedelic contexts.
For Relational Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, participants must be licensed mental health professionals, trained through an accredited licensure pathway, or legally authorised ceremonial practitioners, with occasional exceptions considered by email. Applicants must complete a short written application and a 20 to 30 minute Zoom interview. Essentials of Psychedelic Care has no licensing requirement or application process.
Beckley Academy states it is an educational organisation providing professional development only, and is not a regulatory or licensing body. It says successful completion of Relational Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy results in a certificate of completion, but it does not currently offer CEUs or academic credit. It also says it is not Oregon-sanctioned and does not currently offer an Oregon-sanctioned PAT training.
Public pages do not show a full standard tuition figure in the search results. The Relational Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy course is paid as a one-time full-price payment, with no payment plan, though Beckley says limited need-based tuition reductions, limited scholarships, and group pricing may be available; one partner page mentions a $1050 tuition discount. Extra costs for the relational course include two required books, roughly $60 total if bought, plus up to $50 of materials for the online immersion.
Learners receive a certificate of completion for the relational course, alongside practical competencies in screening, preparation, holding space, therapeutic process, integration, and relational ethics. Beckley frames the outcome more as professional development and readiness to work safely and ethically with psychedelic experiences than as legal authorisation to practise.
