This Advanced Core Skills Training is for Psychologists, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists and students in those fields. A four-day Externship in EFT is required for Core Skills Training.
The training consists of five 2-day workshops, facilitated by ICEEFT Certified Trainers Silvina Irwin and Michael Barnett and supported by a team of Advanced EFT Therapists. Each day will contain instruction according to the guidelines set by the International Centre for Excellence in EFT.
Each weekend provides twelve hours of training. When you sign up for the course, you are committing to your intention to complete all training modules listed below. In other words, when you register for Module 1, it guarantees your spot in the series and you are agreeing to complete the 5 modules.
