Course Provider
The Institute of Art and Ideas (IAI) is a UK-based philosophy and ideas platform offering the IAI Academy, a subscription-based online learning service with hundreds of courses on cutting-edge topics including psychedelic science and philosophy. Faculty include leading academics such as Prof. David Nutt and philosopher Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes, making complex psychedelic research accessible to a global audience.
IAI Academy is a polished, ideas-led online learning platform rather than a clinician-facing training school. In psychedelics, it sits closer to public scholarship and intellectual enrichment than to hands-on practice training, with courses taught by prominent names such as David Nutt and Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes. It will suit curious readers, students and practitioners who want a rigorous introduction to the science and philosophy around psychedelics without needing specialist prerequisites.
Best for the curious public, students, and professionals who want accessible but substantive teaching on psychedelics, science, politics and philosophy. It is less suited to anyone looking for accredited therapist or facilitator training.
IAI Academy courses say no specialist knowledge is required. For the IAI Award, learners must complete and pass 2 Academy courses before applying, and the awardable courses must include an assessment.
IAI Academy does not present itself as a clinical accreditation provider. It does offer the IAI Award, a qualification made up of core subject areas and combined certificates, but this is an internal IAI award rather than a professional licence, and the Academy courses themselves are assessed through pop-up questions and an end-of-module assessment.
Individual IAI Academy courses are accessed with an IAI Token priced at £29.99 for non-subscribers and £14.99 for subscribers. The subscription includes at least one course for free, with further Academy tokens at a discount, and the Standard subscription also includes one free course token as a welcome gift.
Learners walk away with a stronger grounding in psychedelic history, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics and drug science. For those who pursue the IAI Award, the pathway leads to an internal qualification in subjects such as Philosophy, Science, Politics and the Arts, with pass, merit and distinction grades.
