GAPS Training

Train to guide
other people

Two certifications, one structure. Both run eight months entirely online, both begin with the GAPS Masterclass, and both are approved personally by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride.

How the eight months run

The same two-track shape for both certifications.

  1. Apply, and be approved

    Applications are reviewed against the entry requirements for your track, with final approval from Dr Natasha herself.

  2. Track one — the GAPS Masterclass

    Four months, self-paced. The full foundational curriculum: the protocol, the science behind it, and the reasoning. The same course anyone can take on its own.

  3. Track two — certification training

    Fifteen weeks, instructor-led. Applying the protocol to real clients: intake, individual protocols, difficult cases, scope of practice and running a practice.

  4. Certify

    Use the credential, list in the directory, and access the GAPS branding materials and graduate community.

Time commitment: roughly 10–15 hours a week across the eight months. It is a serious course, not an evening’s reading.

The two certifications

Same length, same price, same rigour. The difference is who you are when you start, and what you may do when you finish.

For the build: every figure and date on this page was taken from gapstraining.com on 27 Aug 2026 and needs re-checking before launch — intake dates in particular go stale every cohort. Prices are USD because the training is administered from the US; if that stays true, say so plainly rather than converting. Applications currently hand over to gapstraining.com — see the migration report for what folding that site in would involve.

The farm in late summer — pasture, fence line and the valley beyond.

Approved personally

Every application, for both certifications, goes to Dr Natasha for final approval. That is unusual for a programme of this size, and deliberate — the credential carries her name.

Certification is renewed annually, and graduates keep access to the GAPS Graduate Community and its continuing education.
