Our Study Program 

A good score reader is not a good musician. Knowing the rules of the game does not make you a good player. Our training focuses on "mastering" the theory and "physically appropriating" the methodology. Metaphorically speaking, we are an Academy for the Fine Arts of Experiencing and Connecting. Like a conservatoire, we want to preserve something essentially human and pass it on to the next generation.

The NSG has been offering Gestalt training since 1972, through a four year program in Gestalt Therapy that leads to an accredited EAP Therapist Diploma. Since 2009, the NSG offers through NVAGT and EAGT the opportunity to obtain accreditation for therapists. For example, you can be reimbursed by Dutch and International Insurance if you decide to start your own successful practice. For more information on admission requirements and curriculum, please contact us.


With our training, we meet the requirements that health insurers in the Netherlands set for therapists who want to be reimbursed by complementary insurance.

According to regulations, up until recently, one could become a Gestalt Therapist even if their previous degree was not humanities related. One could complete the 4 years of Gestalt Training at the NSG followed by a short additional course (PSBK), and become fully accredited. In this case, additional hours of supervision, learning therapy and  NVAGT points through Gestalt workshops were needed, but it was a possible path. As an accredited Gestalt Therapist, one could be covered by insurance,  for themselves as well as for their clients ( through the "aanvulende" health care insurance package). 

 

As of 2030 this will be changing, meaning that the RBCZ, the organization related to the dutch health care system, has announced that they will only be allowing graduates that hold one of the background diplomas listed in this document. 

 

To comply with this change and to ensure that all of our students will be able to become fully accredited therapists, starting in September 2025, we will be requesting from all prospective NSG students to be graduates of one of the fields listed in the aforementioned document.
