Certification materials are accepted twice per year: 

Submission deadline December 30
Review completed by March 30

Submission deadline June 30
Review completed by September 30

In order to make certification accessible during the pandemic, we have altered the policy for online teaching, and we now accept review of online classes. In addition, if someone has taken the Teaching MBSR Online course, the  requirement for having taught at least (six) 6 cycles of MBSR, stands. If this course has not been taken, the new recommendation is to have taught (eight) 8 cycles. There may also be a situation that someone has a mix of in-person and online classes, and in that case, the requirement of six (6) classes will be adequate. 

The certification review process is modeled after the process created at Bangor and Oxford Universities. 

Full submission information can be found on this pdf document.
