MUSIC & MEMORY® Certification Training consists of two 90-minute webinars, offered live or on demand, and is designed to teach organizations how to first pilot Music & Memory, then scale their program to be organization wide, serving a large number of individuals. Following the training, certifying organizations benefit from a full year of access to unlimited staff training, resources and support as part of their membership.

Training costs are a sliding scale based on the total number of residents/clients served by the organization (for-profit or non-profit):

51 or more: $1,250
36-50: $800
21-35: $650
9-20: $600
8 or fewer: $500

In residential settings, the number of residents/clients served is often referred to as the “number of beds”. For organizations with multiple sites, serving 51 or more residents/clients, each additional site is $800. Hospital pricing is $800 per department.

Music & Memory membership includes an array of resources and support designed to help your program sustain in the long term. The first year of resources and support is included in the certification fee. After that, an organization pays $200 annually to continue accessing Music & Memory services, these include:

• One year of unlimited training and support;
• Training for an unlimited number of staff and volunteers;
• Dedicated phone/email/Zoom support;
• Monthly support webinars
• Support includes additional focus training, such as tablet training, technical device training, and working with people who have hearing impairment;
• Guidance on choosing the right equipment. Discounts available on some equipment.

All of the above resources help to sustain a program in the long run. Staff come and go, but a Music & Memory program can sustain for years by continually sending new staff for certification training.

Annual renewal fee for hospitals is $200 per department.
