EMDR Institute Accredited Training Schedule
United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland
 
What EMDR training involves
 
National associations affiliated with the governing body, EMDR Europe, have adopted a three part training programme for EMDR.
  • Part 1 (Level 1) – two and a half days
  • Part 2 Intermediate Day
  • Part 3 (Level 2) – two and a half days
Part 1 and Part 3 trainings become three full days from 1 January 2011.
 
Level 1 prepares clinicians to deal with cases presenting with simple or single incident traumas in adult life.  Following attendance at an Intermediate workshop, where clinicians practice and refresh the skills learned at Level 1, they are permitted to progress to the Level 2 training.  Experience has shown that participants find the Intermediate Day vital in helping them consolidate their training and use of EMDR to date.  At the Level 2 training clinicians learn how to work with multiple traumas, or ‘complex’ trauma such as child sexual abuse.
 
These trainings are accredited by EMDR Europe Association and the EMDR Institute based in the USA.  All the trainers are members of the Institute's faculty and have been approved as Trainers by the European governing body.
 
We also run masterclasses for experienced EMDR therapists. These differ in topic, duration and venue.  Please visit the section below for which masterclasses are available.
