Course Provider
OPEN Foundation is a Dutch non-profit organisation based in Amsterdam. It focuses on psychedelic research, education, conferences, workshops, and continuing education courses. Its activities aim to help integrate psychedelics ethically and responsibly into science, healthcare, and society.
OPEN Foundation is a serious, field-shaping Dutch nonprofit rather than a light-touch course vendor. Its strongest offer is for mental health professionals who want structured, ethics-led preparation for psychedelic-assisted therapy, with a clear bridge between theory, live teaching and experiential work. It sits close to the research end of the field through ICPR and a broader convening role, and its training lineage is anchored in European psychedelic science rather than wellness branding.
Best for licensed or near-licensed mental health professionals who want a clinically serious route into psychedelic therapy, plus researchers and allied professionals looking for accredited-style professional development. It is less suited to the general public or people seeking an introductory, non-clinical overview.
Foundations asks for a background in mental healthcare, at least a BA/BSc in a mental health-related field, and academic English. ADEPT is for licensed mental health professionals with a valid registration number, more than 3 years of psychotherapy or mental health care experience, an undergraduate degree in a mental health-related field, academic English, and an age of at least 25; it also says some other relevant professionals may be considered.
Foundations is certified by OPEN Foundation and is registered with the Dutch CRKBO, which exempts it from VAT. Successful completion of Foundations counts as partial accreditation towards ADEPT. ADEPT is also registered with CRKBO and is described as leading to OPEN Foundation certification. The site does not present CME or CE credit.
Foundations costs €6,750 for the 13-month programme, with a non-refundable €1,500 deposit and payment-plan options. ADEPT costs €18,500, or €18,000 if paid upfront, plus a non-refundable €80 enrolment fee; the fee includes online modules and meals, and for experiential practicums also accommodation, while transport is extra.
Learners finish with OPEN Foundation certification, plus a structured competency base in psychedelic therapy, including theory, ethics, practical skills, and supervised peer learning. Foundations also functions as a stepping stone towards ADEPT.
