Once you receive your license:
Those completing the Qualified Instructor Program are licensed to provide HeartMath workshops within their school system, or, if they operate as independent trainers, they can deliver training to educational institutions for a fee. All that's required is for the Qualified Instructor to purchase a participant guidebook for each attendee through the Institute of HeartMath's Education Division. This license covers a three-year period and allows for the commercial use of The Institute of HeartMath's intellectual property within the field of education. It does not allow for the delivery of the programs in any other field such as companies, hospitals or government agencies.
Qualified Instructor Training for the Resilient Educator course includes:- Instruction on how to deliver the Resilient Educator course to educators for professional development, stress reduction and resiliency.
- Instruction on how to teach program participants to use HeartMath's innovative emWavePC Stress Relief System computer-based technology.

- Regular program updates, new developments and support materials.
Course offering: The Resilient Educator
The Resilient Educator is a highly relevant training program that helps educators boost performance, improve school relationships and strengthen resiliency. Acclaimed by educators for its new ideas and solid foundation in neuroscience, the program's proven techniques are easy to learn and help rekindle educators' motivation and energy. The training rekindles why they went into the profession in the first place and teaches practical, research-based tools and strategies to stop the negative impact of stress – mentally, emotionally and physically.
The Resilient Educator workshop can be given in a two-, four- or six-hour sessions. The training includes a PowerPoint presentation to teach participants key HeartMath skills, the physiology of resilience and optimal performance and how to use the emWave® PC Stress Relief System. The Resilient Educator has received high marks from teachers and administrators across the country. Research has shown that educators attending the Resilient Educator training made significant improvements in motivation and positive outlook with major reductions in stress, fatigue, exhaustion, anger and the intention to quit. In a large group of elementary teachers in Arizona who participated in the training, 97% reported the program was beneficial and relevant. To stay in the teaching profession and be effective and resilient in today’s educational climate, educators need new skills and strategies. The Resilient Educator is a key element of a model program funded by the U.S. Department of Education to improve teacher retention.
In the near future, the Institute of HeartMath will offer additional courses that will enable Qualified Instructors to expand their range of HeartMath workshops to college students, administrators, noncertified staff and parents affiliated with school organizations.
