Course Provider
Third Wave is a US-based online education platform focused on psychedelics and microdosing. Its site says it provides research-based content, training, and community resources to support intentional and responsible psychedelic use. The company presents itself as a public benefit corporation and says it was founded by Paul F. Austin.
Third Wave is best understood as a psychedelic education and consumer-facing training platform rather than a formal school. Its strongest suit is accessible, research-led material on microdosing, sourcing, preparation, and psychedelic coaching, with Paul F. Austin as the visible founder figure and a clear bias towards practical, non-clinical use. It sits in the field as a high-profile media brand with training products, but it does not present itself as a university-style or professionally licensed provider.
It best suits curious adults, self-directed microdosers, and people exploring non-clinical psychedelic coaching or support work. The coaching track is aimed at aspiring practitioners and entrepreneurs rather than licensed clinicians seeking a regulated therapy credential.
Third Wave does not publish a single universal entry route across all offerings. Its coaching certification has programme requirements, and the programme materials indicate a selective admissions process with logged-in requirements and application steps.
Third Wave does not present its courses as accredited degree programmes, and it does not publish CME or CE credit information for its core consumer courses. Its coaching certification is described as a certification programme, but not as an accredited academic qualification.
The Microdosing Course is priced at $197 and includes the course, workbook and tracking resources, a macrodosing bonus module, a library of expert conversations, exclusive discounts, community access, and a sourcing guide. The Microdosing Experience is offered in tiers from $199 to $1,249, and the Coaching Certification Program has been sold at a regular price of $10,000, with an $8,000 early-bird option and an $11,000 payment-plan total.
Learners walk away with practical microdosing education, protocol tools, journalling and tracking resources, and access to community support. The coaching pathway is designed to build psychedelic coaching skills, with curriculum-based learning, integration sessions, guest speakers, and a practicum, leading to a coaching certification rather than a clinical licence.
