Overview
This is a comprehensive Vestibular Assessment & Management Certification Course.
This 36.5-hour combined course is AIB’s most complete program for clinicians seeking expertise in both vestibular diagnostics and patient management. The program begins with 12 hours of self-paced online learning, providing a strong foundation in evidence-based protocols, clinical decision-making, and vestibular assessment strategies. Participants then advance to the three-day, 24.5-hour live hands-on course, designed to translate theory into practical skills for real-world clinical application. The 3-day live component is offered at AIB headquarters in Largo, Florida.
The live component is structured for maximum impact: the first two days focus on Vestibular Assessment, covering Video Nystagmography (VNG), Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP), Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT), and Rotary Chair testing, including protocol development, case studies, and best practices for efficient, cost-effective patient evaluation. The third day emphasizes Vestibular Management, with hands-on training in bedside evaluation, BPPV treatment, and vestibular rehabilitation techniques. Through this comprehensive approach, clinicians gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver gold-standard vestibular care, optimizing outcomes for patients with chronic dizziness and vestibular disorders.
