TECH takes you for 6 weeks into the Principles of Neurosciences so that you can apply new teaching methods through their knowledge"

Neurosciences have recently become a revolutionary way of understanding almost all areas of human development. Its logic is indisputable: the brain, moderator, organizer and creator of each human being holds the keys to these processes. All this leads to a new educational approach that tends towards a global way of knowing the student, taking into account all areas of personal development.

Having all the keys to understand how the nervous system works, how is the cognitive process of memory, language or the neural basis of psychomotor skills will be essential for the teacher who wants to successfully teach their classes. For this reason, TECH has created this Postgraduate certificate, which leads students to delve into the components of the nervous system, the role of the brain in learning or problems in psychomotor development.

To this end, the specialists will have an advanced syllabus that will lead them to delve into the main cognitive processes, the development of the brain and its direct application to teaching in the classroom. Likewise, thanks to the didactic and multimedia material, such learning will be much more dynamic and attractive. In addition, in this academic journey, the teaching professionals will be able to advance in a progressive and natural way through the content of the program, thanks to the Relearningmethod: a system based on the reiteration of key concepts that will also allow them to reduce the hours of study.

Undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to progress professionally in the education sector through a 100% online and flexible Postgraduate certificate. Students who take this program only need an electronic device with an Internet connection to access the syllabus hosted on the Virtual Campus. A high-level program in line with current academic times.

This Postgraduate certificate will allow you to take a step further in your professional career as a teacher through the understanding of brain development and its relationship with student learning"

This Postgraduate certificate in Principles of Neurosciences contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:
