Psychology cannot teach people how to live life. Nevertheless, it is a tool for creating positive social and personal change. As the leading provider of online psychology education, the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology makes psychology-based education accessible, understandable, and relevant.
Founded in 2017, the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology (AMAP) offers a variety of experiential learning opportunities in today's most prominent applied psychology disciplines. Our mission is to assist students and our peer-learning community to acquire the knowledge, skills, and confidence to apply psychological principles to their everyday lives.
In recent years, we have grown into one of the largest independent providers of applied psychology training in the world. Our curriculum of training courses include; Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy, Counselling Skills, and Skilled Helping.
The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology endeavors to bring life-changing philosophy and psychology training courses to online learning environments around the world. Applied psychology is a life (soft) science, not an empirical (hard) one, so its methodologies and practices are only relevant when students apply what they learn to their own circumstances.
Two kinds of certificates are available to students: a completion certificate (for successfully completing a course) and an achievement certificate (for passing a course and gaining relevant skills and competencies). Upon successful completion of a training course, students who study AMAP certificate courses on Udemy can access certificates of completion.
The objective of applied psychology is to discover, understand, and positively influence human behavior. By integrating psychological principles with philosophical ideals, modern applied psychology contributes to increased personal growth, personality development, social skill acquisition, professional advancement, and mental well-being.
The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology does not teach theory, but rather established principles and theories that have been discussed and written about since before psychology was even recognized as a legitimate academic discipline. The mission of AMAP is not to produce academics, but to cultivate mature, responsible, and wiser human beings.
We host the world's largest online learning community of people devoted to learning human behavior. Our purpose is to equip our members to successfully influence their towns, states, and nations. Modern applied psychologists are known as Achologists.
