Our EFT Practitioner Certification Programme

Start a full or part-time career as an EFT Practitioner

Welcome to our EFT Practitioner Certification Programme

At the EFT Training Centre we are delighted to offer you the opportunity to become an EFT International-Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, which is an option for you after you have attended our EFT Level 1 and 2 live training.

Our Certification Programme is a powerful journey of learning and evolving, where you become confident and skillful with the EFT techniques and protocols you have learned on the training, and also one where you will use EFT to overcome many of your own personal issues, challenges and limiting beliefs.

Practicing EFT is a deeply rewarding vocation where you help people overcome their challenges often in very small timescales.  You can apply it face-to-face, online or by telephone, giving huge flexibility to run your practice from anywhere in the world.

With more than 35 years using and training EFT between them, our two Master Trainers Tamara and Peter Donn bring their experience to the training helping you get the best results with your clients.

There is a huge difference in quality and depth of EFT trainings across the UK and Internationally.

Whilst the basics of EFT can be taught in an Introduction workshop in just a few hours (we call this "EFT Lite!"), the real power comes with the many EFT techniques and protocols that form the broader training, to allow profoundly deep healing work.

Only the best training teaches the understanding, depth and subtleties required to get exceptional results.  This means having greater success rates, knowing how to handle complex cases, dealing with resistant issues, and having the ability to drill down to the root cause of presenting issues, as well as facilitating more efficient sessions.

In this way we aim to create true EFT masters, not simply facilitators who can do some simple tapping to create superficial change.


“I am so grateful to have Tamara and Peter as my EFT mentors. They share their extensive knowledge and experience with me and this enhances my work and my own personal growth. I feel safe and comfortable to share all of my thoughts, feelings and personal reactions about my work and they help me see the way forward when that’s appropriate. Great teachers, mentors and practitioners. Thank you for all you have helped with.”

The EPCP is the "Real" Training!

The EFT Practitioner Certification Programme (EPCP) is much more than a process which will hopefully lead to an EFT Practitioner qualification.

You might say the live EFT level 1 and 2 training is actually the pre-training!

The real training starts with the EPCP.  This is where you take your unpracticed fledgling skills into the field. The real practical learning starts here. Throughout this process you take your new skills and use them in the real world, on real issues on many individuals. This is where you concretise your technical skills and you evolve those into true EFT mastership through much experience "trying and failing” whilst receiving support through asking questions during and between mentoring.

It is also where you truly get to understand the nature of EFT as a kind of emotional transformation “magic” as you apply it to people's emotional challenges. This is the practice you get where you learn through practice how to facilitate sessions and how to learn and decide what tools to pick from the EFT toolbox at any given time.

Finally, through facilitating practice sessions and session swaps with the other trainees, equally as important it is the process by which you transform yourself as a facilitator technically and emotionally. During the practice sessions you get to see which EFT protocols you need to understand more deeply, or get help with, and you also find where your emotional challenges or blocks are when it comes to facilitating sessions.

For example what if you don't get the results you are hoping for in a given session? What does that bring up in you? Or what if your own trauma is triggered by hearing the story of your client? This is where you bring that issue to a swap session with a fellow trainee and you work with EFT to overcome it.

In this way, over time, you are not only becoming more and more skilled in EFT - becoming unconsciously competent - but also experience deep healing that will positively affect other areas of your life also. The other benefit of this healing process is that you experienced EFT and its many facets of experience, from the perspective of a client, meaning you will be more fully able to understand the experience of future clients you work with.  

Who is this programme for?

This programme is aimed at individuals from any background - regardless of experience - who wish to start a new part- or full-time career helping others release themselves from stress, upset, trauma, pain, and all kinds of emotional challenges - and become their best selves.

Practicing as a professional in this powerful modality is immensely rewarding and can be carried out in-person or online, giving huge flexibility, allowing you to run your business in the way that works for you.

Prerequisites

You need to have attended EFT Level 1 and 2 live trainings (online or in-person).  There are no technical prerequisites to attending these trainings.  You only need to be mentally and emotionally in a position where you feel safe working with what may arise as we work with personal issues and past events.

See below for the full breakdown of the EFT Practitioner Certification Programme (EPCP).

Learning to Help People Overcome their Deepest Issues

As you can imagine, it is a huge responsibility to help people move through their deepest issues and greatest traumas.  Holding the space in a safe, centred way with your future clients may involve at least a degree of freedom from any personal trauma that could affect your facilitation, as well as a keen theoretical and practical skill in applying the many EFT protocols and techniques.

It is our job at the EFT Training Centre to be sure you are ready for this, and we will work with you to help you to develop your confidence and skills.

Can Anyone Become an EFT Practitioner?

The answer is "Yes" and "No"!

If you are already a qualified therapist in another modality, during the certification process you will need to put your existing technical skills aside whilst you learn new ways to tackle specific client issues, often very rapidly.  Later on, when you are qualified, you will see how you can integrate your EFT skills with your existing ones.  We have had many hundreds of existing therapists train with us and they are usually amazed at the power of EFT.

Practicing as an EFT practitioner requires that you can hold the space for a client with warmth, empathy, safety and humility.  You need therefore to be able to absorb the new skills taught and be motivated to practice them during the certification period many times in order to comfortably apply them effectively when they are needed within a session.

Often clients share very traumatic stories and you will need to be able to remain calm and hold the space with confidence so the client feels safe and supported by you.

Our job as trainers is to ensure we create safe, effective practitioners.  Not everyone is ready for this straight away - which means we can't 100% guarantee we can make you a practitioner.  But we will do our absolute best to help make that happen.  

We appreciate that no-one is perfect in this respect, and therefore don't expect that in our trainees. The certification process is about becoming aware of these issues so they can be addressed during the certification period. We ask you to do many swap sessions with fellow trainees during this time both to practice the techniques and also overcome issues that could get in the way of being an effective, safe practitioner.  You can also work through these with your trainers (big discounts on sessions are offered to those on the programme).

If we feel that personal issues are getting in the way too much, we may ask you to take a year or so to work on them with an EFT practitioner (or EFT trainees) before returning to take a refresher training (at a large discount) and continue on to hopefully complete the certification programme later, and become a practitioner. This may also apply if we feel you are having too much difficulty being able to apply the EFT techniques properly.

You have 12 months from the Level 2 live training to complete the certification (you have longer to complete the practice sessions).  If you don't complete it within that time we ask you to return to take the training again as a refresher.  You can then take another 12 months. Note that the accreditation fee has gone up in price by that time you will need to pay the additional cost.

Free Ongoing Access to our EFT Facebook Support Group

All course attendees get free access to our EFT Facebook Support group and this continues when you are qualified.  This is an invaluable resource where you can ask questions and get peer group support.  The trainers also often contribute to answers. This is also a great place to arrange swap sessions with others in the group.  The group is a wonderful meeting place of our EFT Family where we can support each other.

Completing an application to Join the EFT Practitioner Certification Programme

If you wish to join the programme you will need to complete a simple application form after you have attended an EFT Level 1 training and before you attend the Level 2 training.  This is because at the Level 2 training we wish to know who (potentially) has the intention to become certified.

After EFT Level 2, unless we have reason to suggest delaying the certification, you can pay to join it towards the bottom of this page.

Completing the application form doesn't oblige you to commit to joining the programme.  It just indicates to us that you may be interested in doing so, once having completed the Level 2 training.

EFT PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME (EPCP)

We are honoured to have certified many hundreds of EFT Practitioners from 5 continents over the past almost two decades, and they are making a huge change in people’s lives.

Being an EFT practitioner is deeply rewarding and gives the opportunity to help people part or full time, online or in-person.

We offer the EFT International EFT qualification, which, in terms of the number of qualified practitioners, is the largest in the world.

Our training exceeds the depth and coverage of the EFT International syllabus because we want to make EFT masters out of you! 

There are two components to become an EFT International Certified EFT Practitioner. Each are paid for separately.

1 – Attend EFT Level 1 and 2 Live trainings.
These can be online or in-person but they must be live and interactive (although there may be a small amount of video training).

2 – Apply to join our EFT Practitioner Certification Programme and be accepted.

3 – Complete a set of certification requirements within 12 months of attending EFT Level 2.
These are reviewed by the trainers. 

Here is a list of certification requirements. These need to be completed within 12 months of attending Level 2. One exception is the 50 practice sessions which you have an extra year to complete if needed.

1. Pass a multiple-choice test on the EFT International web site. We recommend you take that within two or three days after attending Level 2.

2.Attend a one hour 1-2-1 mentoring session within the first 3 months of completing Level 2

3.Attend two x 2.5 hour group mentoring sessions within the following 6 months of completing Level 2

4. Submit a recorded session 

5. Submit two written case studies, each being composed of 2-4 sessions of 45 minutes each.

6. Submit one written case study on yourself

7. Receive four EFT sessions from any certified EFT practitioner (they must be EFT International, ACEP or EFT Universe-accredited). Optionally take our "VIP 6" or "VIP 12" package which includes sessions with your trainers, which fulfills this requirement.

Points 1-7 need to be completed with 12 months or you have the option to extend that time, by attending another Level 1 and 2 training with us (with a large discount) if available

8. Complete 50 practice sessions (you can include your case study sessions) across a minimum of 20 individuals of a minumum of 45 minutes per session. You need to do at least 20-25 of these in the first 12 months but have another 12 months to complete the rest if you need to.



After attending EFT Level 1, you can apply to join the practitioner programme. Once accepted you can pay for this in full, or in instalments.  The payment (or first installment) is paid within a day or two after attending EFT Level 2. There is a 14-day grace period so if you change your mind within 14 days of attending Level 2 you will get a full refund and we will remove you from the programme.  

The following is covered as part of your enrollment fee:

1. Administration and support over the course of your certification period of a year. This includes the trainer’s time administering the practitioner process, and providing support either regarding the process, or on questions you have regarding EFT or specific clients.

Support is provided as follows - moving to the next level if needed:
   1) Our closed Facebook support group,
   2) Direct email support,
   3) Scheduling a phone / online call in more complex situations (additional costs may be incured)
In addition to that, you are encouraged to bring questions to the mentoring sessions.

2. Two online group-mentorings, each 2.5 hours, with others who are also training. The dates are agreed as a group using a poll. These will be scheduled within the first 6 months of attending Level 2.

3. One 1-2-1 mentoring of one hour. Taken within 3 months of attending Level 2.

4. Case study reviews (These take our trainers several hours to review).

5. Free student membership on our Fast Track Professional and Personal Membership Programme until end of 2024. This gives you access to monthly group tapping sessions and our quarterly expert sessions (recordings of past expert sessions are available for your perusal).

For all of the above stated under "What is covered..." we charge £695.  Alternatively, you can pay this over 8 instalments of £87.

We also offer other package options to include sessions with your trainers.

If you wish to have an idea of how much the total cost may be, simply add together the prices of the following:

  • 1. The price of attendance at the EFT Level 1 and 2 live training (price depending on location and duration)
  • 2. The cost of the EPCP (EFT Practitioner Certification Programme) described earlier in detail.  This is currently £695 (instalments offered).  This is priced separately as some people wish to attend the live trainings but not go on to become practitioners.
  • 3. EFT sessions – the cost of receiving 4 EFT sessions. Past sessions are counted. Our qualified EFT practitioners are often open to offering one for free as part of a session swap.
  • 4. EFT International Student Membership and Taking Multiple Choice Exam; These cost £25 and £15 respectively (as of start of 2024).
  • 5. Student insurance - optional but recommended.  Usually around £50 (as at start of 2024).

Becoming a certified EFT practitioner can be one of the most inexpensive qualifications to attain, considering you are learning such a powerful technique.

The trainers cannot guarantee that you will become a Certified EFT Practitioner, as challenges may arise during the certification  process that are too big to overcome in the time given to complete the certification process.  However they are committed to doing the best to help work with you to make that happen.  They may recommend focusing on your personal EFT journey before assuming the role of a practitioner if they believe it will benefit you.

You can extend the 12-month certification period by attending at least EFT Level 2 again (with us, if we have dates and spaces available) as a refresher, and your 12 months starts again from the last day of second Level 2 training. Once you have enrolled in the certification programme, if you take additional time to complete the certification over and above 12 months then (apart from the cost of refresher training) there is no additional fee to pay unless the practitioner programme has increased in price in which case you pay the difference.  You may also need to book an additional Mentoring or two as you need to do at least 6 hours in the 12 months leading up to certification.

As a disclaimer, although very unlikely, if we one day stop offering this programme, then we would endeavour to recommend other trainers to continue your certification process (with their additional costs).

Practicing as a professional EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner offers numerous benefits. Here are 6 advantages of pursuing a career in this field:

1. Replace unrewarding income sources with one that is deeply fulfilling! If you have been drawn to helping others, this is an extraordinary opportunity to facilitate big change for many people!  How can it get better than earning an income helping people feel happier, healthier and more peaceful!

2. Personal Growth: As you guide others through their healing journey, you also experience personal growth. You become more self-aware, empathetic, and compassionate.

3. Flexibility: You have the flexibility to work on your terms. Whether you choose to work independently or join an existing practice, you have the freedom to set your own schedule and work with clients in a way that suits you. You can see clients in-person or over the internet on the other side of the world!

4. Increased Empowerment: As clients experience the benefits of EFT and witness their progression, they become empowered to take control of their emotional well-being. Being a part of this process is incredibly fulfilling.  You are therefore a change-agent that help clients look after themselves into the future.

5. Professional Development and being a part of our practitioner family: The field of EFT is constantly evolving. As a practitioner, you have various opportunities for continuous professional development, such as attending workshops, conferences, and advanced training courses.

6. Diverse Clientele: EFT can be applied to a huge range of issues (there really is no limit), including stress, anxiety, trauma, phobias, and more. This offers you the opportunity to work with a diverse clientele, ensuring that no two days are the same.

These benefits highlight the rewarding nature of practicing as a professional EFT practitioner. By embarking on this path, you can contribute to the well-being of others while experiencing personal and professional growth

Once having EFT Practitioner accreditation you can gain practitioner membership of the EFT International and have a practitioner listing. You will also need to attain 30 CPD units each year (Continuing Professional Development) to remain a member and have 6 hours mentoring. CPD can be in anything that aids your work in your EFT practitioner role and can be reading books and watching videos. Our Fast Track Professional and Personal Development Membership Programme covers all the mentoring hours and most of the CPD hours, and if you don't cancel your Fast Track student membership, you will be automatically subscribed to the Fast Track membership going forwards.  You can cancel at any time.
