Admission Process
Application Form
Applicants complete an application form, which includes a short statement describing their motivation for applying to the Gestalt Institute of Yerevan.
Interview
Applicants will be invited to an interview via email.
The interview does not involve any knowledge testing.
It serves as an opportunity for mutual acquaintance — to get to know you and hear why you wish to become a Gestalt therapist.
Response
You will receive an email the day after the interview informing you whether you have been accepted to the program.
Orientation Meeting
If accepted, you will be invited to a follow-up meeting to review the training contract, payment procedure, and organizational details.
After signing the contract and completing the first payment within the agreed timeframe, you officially become a student of the Institute.
First-Year Schedule
Before the first training block begins, students receive their first-year schedule, which includes all block dates, topics, and trainers.
This helps students plan their study year in advance.
Note
Prior participation in Gestalt-based workshops or seminars is highly encouraged and considered an advantage during the admission process.
EAGT Code of Ethics
While the National association of Gestalt therapists in Armenia is still in the process of formation and has not yet established its own ethical code, the Gestalt Institute of Yerevan is guided by the Ethical code of the European Assosiation for Gestalt therapy(EAGT).
The Institute has also translated the EAGT Ethical Code into Armenian ensuring accessibility for all students and professionals.
