Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is this course for?
ATMA CENA’s PAT training programs are designed for professionals working in mental health, medicine, or wellness. Depending on your background, you may enroll in the Essentials, Clinical, or Prescriber Pathway to gain skills appropriate to your role. Our programs are especially suited for therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and wellness professionals seeking to support or deliver psychedelic-assisted care.
2. Is this course really 100% online? Do I need to attend any classes in person?
All core course content is available online, including video lectures, readings, and live Q&A sessions. While in-person training is an optional add-on for each pathway, it is highly recommended. Many students report that the in-person intensives are among the most impactful parts of their learning. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to build confidence, integrate course concepts, and connect with fellow practitioners in a supportive environment.
3. Can I just enroll in a single course?
Yes. You can register for a standalone course such as the Introduction to PAT, Advanced PAT Certification, or Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) Clinical Foundations. However, some courses have prerequisites:
- Advanced PAT Certification requires completion of the Introduction to PAT or an approved equivalent. You may submit an exemption request if you’ve completed comparable training elsewhere.
- KAT Clinical Foundations requires both the Introduction to PAT and Advanced PAT Certification, or equivalent training held to the same high standards. Equivalency requests are welcome.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive, cost-effective path, our Essentials, Clinical, and Prescriber pathways bundle courses in the correct sequence and offer access to optional in-person intensives.
4. What is the refund policy?
You can receive a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of payment. After that, enrollments are non-refundable. However, you may transfer to a future cohort or to another eligible participant. In exceptional cases, partial refunds may be considered. For refund or transfer requests, contact: training@atmacena.com
5. Is financial aid available?
We offer financial aid for eligible applicants. If cost is a barrier, you can contact training@atmacena.com. Our goal is to make this training accessible to qualified professionals across diverse backgrounds.
6. How do I know which training pathway is right for me?
We offer three training pathways to suit different professional roles:
- Essentials Pathway – For mental health and wellness professionals seeking a foundational understanding of PAT to better support clients or integrate the principles into their own practice.
- Clinical Pathway – For clinicians preparing to work in licensed PAT settings or under the ATMA CENA CoCare model. Includes clinical best practices, and optional experiential intensives.
- Prescriber Pathway – For physicians, nurse practitioners, and prescribers aiming to assess client suitability, prescribe ketamine, or collaborate with therapists in clinical PAT settings.
Visit our Course Overview page to compare them side by side. Or contact training@atmacena.com to speak to an advisor to find the right fit for you.
7. What background knowledge is necessary?
No prior experience with psychedelics is required. The Essentials Pathway is open to anyone interested in learning about psychedelic-assisted therapy, including wellness professionals and those on a personal or professional development journey.
For the Clinical and Prescriber Pathways, a background in mental health or healthcare is expected, as these tracks build on foundational clinical knowledge.
