Questions, answered straight

What exactly is the certificate?
A non-formal practitioner qualification — Certified Burnout Prevention and Recovery Practitioner, CBPRP — certified by the Baltic Institute of Resilience. It is not a state qualification and we will never suggest otherwise. Its value is what stands behind it: twelve months of tutor-assessed written work, assessed recordings of you leading practice, a supervised practicum and an observed examination, at a standard we publish and defend.
Can I study while working full-time?
The programme is designed for exactly that: units you pace within the month, one 90-minute live lab a week during the methods phase, daily personal practice of twenty to thirty minutes, and two one-week residencies in Kaunas. Plan for consistent weekly study time, and for the practicum months, around two hours a week of supervised practice.
Is everything in English?
Yes — study materials, labs, assignments, supervision and both residencies all run in English, in one international cohort. All times are Europe/Vilnius, always stated explicitly.
Is this a clinical or psychological qualification?
No. Graduates work in prevention, recovery and resilience with people who do not have a clinical diagnosis, or alongside clinical care with the person's consent. They do not diagnose or treat. Knowing where that line is — and referring when indicators of a clinical condition or risk are present — is examined in the programme before you lead any practice and again at the end.
I live outside the EU. Is this a way to move to Europe?
No — and we say this plainly because your plans deserve honesty. The programme is online; each residency is a one-week study visit, for which we provide complete and truthful document support. If your primary goal is relocation, this programme is not the right instrument, and our admissions process will say so.
What does it cost?
Fees, instalment options and funding paths — including employer funding, Lithuanian training vouchers once our registration is complete, and a small number of founding scholarships — are set out in the programme guide and discussed openly at your admissions conversation. The price sits where serious year-long practitioner trainings sit in Europe, and we keep it out of the shop window not to hide it, but because the right first conversation is about fit, not figures.
Why is admission selective?
Because the model depends on it. Tutors mark real work, labs are small, practicum participants trust our graduates, and cohorts learn from each other — so every place filled carelessly costs everyone else quality. Selectivity is not marketing theatre; it is how the standard survives.
Who is behind the institute?
The Baltic Institute of Resilience operates from Kaunas, Lithuania, led academically by its Academic Lead, advised clinically, and taught by practitioner faculty recruited internationally. Legal entity: Sportas ir psichologija MB, Kaunas.
