The Blueprint of Knowledge
The Blueprint of Knowledge is the definitive content framework for the IQCB examination. It defines the nine competency domains and the specific knowledge areas within each. If you are preparing for the examination, this is where you begin.
Nine domains. One standard.
The Blueprint defines what every IQCB-certified practitioner is expected to know, from the history of EEG to the evidentiary standards that govern its use in court. Updated periodically to reflect developments in the field.
