Blossom’s read
Acadia Professional Learning sits in the regulated psilocybin training niche rather than the broader psychedelic education space. It is best for people actively working towards facilitation in Oregon or Colorado, especially those who want a practical, compliance-heavy programme with an in-person practicum component. The site presents Travis H. Kern as Lead Educator and highlights a small faculty of highly credentialled instructors, with the curriculum positioned around ethics, trauma-informed care, legal requirements, and supervised practice.
Who is Acadia Professional Learning for?
Best suited to working professionals, particularly aspiring psilocybin facilitators and licensed clinicians moving into regulated services. It also suits learners who want a structured route through Oregon or Colorado licensure requirements.
What do you need before you start?
For practicum-only training in Colorado, learners must already have an approved DORA facilitator training licence. The Colorado page also notes that prior accredited training, college, university, or indigenous experience may qualify for accelerated credit, subject to a curriculum map, transcript, and programme review.
Is Acadia Professional Learning accredited?
Acadia Professional Learning states that its psilocybin facilitator training is OPS-approved for licensure in Oregon, HECC-approved, and DORA-approved for licensure in Colorado. It also states that the training is a prerequisite for applying for a facilitator licence in Oregon and Colorado, and that Colorado learners must complete 40 post-course consultation hours within two years.
How much does it cost?
The main facilitator training is priced at $6,900 for Oregon and $6,900 for Colorado didactic-only training, with Colorado practicum-only training listed at $2,499. Consultation hours in Colorado are listed at $75 per 90-minute session, travel and lodging are not included for practicum, and Oregon FAQ material says students with declared financial need can split tuition into two payments.
What do you walk away with?
Learners complete didactic training in psilocybin facilitation plus supervised practicum where applicable, with competencies in preparation, session administration, integration, trauma-informed communication, legal compliance, de-escalation, and practice design. The pathway is towards licensure or supervised professional practice in regulated psilocybin services.
