EMDR Training Exceptional Circumstances
If you feel you have equivalent qualifications and experience to those listed under EMDR Training Eligibility, you may be eligible via the Exceptional Circumstances (EC) pathway. However, please know that the eligibility criteria are there to ensure a baseline knowledge of mental health assessment, traumatology, therapy skills and associated risk management skills have been met prior to training.
It is an essential requirement that applicants for EMDR Therapy training are qualified mental health professionals and registered with an appropriate professional body, or generally (depending on the profession) not more than three months away from full registration. Substantial experience working in organisations with a supportive structure and focus on trauma treatment can be taken into consideration as part of your application to train.
Applications via the EC pathway are reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis by members of the EMDRAA Accreditation and Standards Committee. If your application is not approved, the Committee will ensure you are given the reason and recommendations for any possible future application to train.
