FAQs
How long after attending Level 1 training can I enrol in Level 2 training?
There’s no mandatory waiting period after completing Level 1 EMDR training before enrolling in Level 2. However, as a general guide, once you've worked with at least four clients or completed 12 EMDR sessions, you’re likely comfortable with the standard protocol and ready to advance to Level 2 EMDR training.
I completed my level 1 training with a different training provider. Can I still enrol in this course?
Yes, so long as you completed your level 1 training with an EMDRAA Accredited provider.
If it has been more than three years since you completed level 1 training, please contact us to discuss whether you will need to do anything else prior to attending the workshop.
