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.

EMDR Australia affirms that the content and presentation of these trainings meets the curriculum requirements published by EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
